  3. 2. Calculate the 95th-percentile CI given a sample mean of 110 cm, sample size of 50 and SD of 25.0 cm. a) 85.0 < m < 135.0 cm b) 61.0 < m < 159.0 cm c) 104.2 < m < 115.8 cm d) 103.1 < m < 116.9 cm

  4. 3. Determine the t-values for the 95th-percentile confidence interval (CI) given a sample size of n = 12? a) ±2.201 b) ±2.179 c) ±1.960 d) ±1.796

  5. 4.Calculate the 95th-percentile CI given a sample mean of 11.50 s, sample size of 12 and SD of 2.00 s? a) 9.50 > m > 13.50 s b) 10.92 > m > 12.08 s c) 10.22 > m > 12.77 s d) 10.17 > m > 12.83 s
