A research study investigated differences between male and female students. Based on the study results, we can assume the popula

Using the normal distribution and the central limit theorem, it is found that the interval that contains 99.44% of the sample means for male students is (3.4, 3.6).

In a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.

After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X.

By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of sample means of size n has standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

In this problem:

The mean is of $\mu = 3.5$ .

The standard deviation is of $\sigma = 0.5$ .

Sample of 100, hence $n = 100, s = \frac{0.5}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.05$

The interval that contains 95.44% of the sample means for male students is between Z = -2 and Z = 2, as the subtraction of their p-values is 0.9544, hence:

Z = -2:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$
