Suppose scores on exams in statistics are normally distributed with an unknown population mean and a population standard deviation of three points. A random sample of 36 scores is taken and gives a sample mean (sample mean score) of 68. Find a confidence interval estimate for the population mean exam score (the mean score on all exams). Find a 90% confidence interval for the true (population) mean of statistics exam scores. Find a 95% confidence interval for the true (population) mean statistics exam score. 67.1775, 68.8225
