In order to determine an interval for the mean of a population with unknown standard deviation, a sample of 24 items is selected
1 answer:
If the sample size of population is 24 then the number of degrees of freedom for reading the t value is 23 which is option c.
Given sample size of 24,mean 23.
We have to determine the number of degrees of freedom which will be used to find the critical values of t.
Degree of freedom is the number of values in the final calculation of a statistic that are free to vary means that can change their values in the formula of calculating t.
t=(X-μ)/s/
where X is sample mean ,
μ is hypothsised population mean
s is sample standard deviation
n is sample size.
Degree of freedom=n-1
In this question n is 24 so the degree of freedom =24-1=23.
Hence the number of degrees of freedom for reading the t value is 23.

x = total amount of students in 8th Grade.
we know only one-thrid of the class went, so (1/3)x or x/3 went.
we also know 5 coaches went too, and that the total amount of that is 41.
now, to verify, well, what do you get for (108/3) + 5?
