    Question

    A psychologist examined the effect of chronic alcohol abuse on memory. In this experiment, a standardized test was used. Higher scores on the test indicate better memory. Scores on this test for the general population form a normal distribution with μ=50\mu = 50 and σ=8\sigma = 8. A sample of 22 alcohol abusers has a mean score of M=47M = 47. The level of significance is 5%.

    What is the 95% confidence interval for the mean memory score for alcohol abusers?


    1. FALSE: 47.19 to 52.81
    2. FALSE: 46.66 to 53.34
    3. FALSE: 44.19 to 49.81
    4. TRUE: 43.66 to 50.34
