__________ Calculate the range.
__________ Calculate the mode.
__________ Calculate the mean.
__________ Calculate the sample standard deviation sx.
__________ Calculate the standard error SE of the sample mean.
__________ Calculate the degrees of freedom.
__________ Calculate t-critical for a 95% confidence level.
__________ Calculate the margin of error E of the sample mean.
Calculate the 95% confidence interval for the population mean μ
p(__________ < μ < __________) = 0.95
__________ Ten years ago my mean 5k time was 28.3 minutes. Is 28.3 minutes a possible population mean μ for my 2012 five kilometer run times?
If 28.3 minutes is within the confidence interval for my 2012 five kilometer run times, then my times have not changed significantly. I have neither slowed down nor sped up. If 28.3 minutes is not within the confidence interval, then my time has changed by a statistically significant amount. Which is the case, is my 2012 mean 5k time faster, slower, or statistically the same as ten years ago?
