Calculate a point estimate of the IW value that separates the lowert 50% of all such students from the highest 50% of students. c. Calculate a 99% confidence interval for the population mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypothesis is seen as an assumption, an idea that is proposed for the sake of argument so that it can be tested to see if it might be true. In the scientific method, the hypothesis is constructed before any applicable research has been done, apart from a basic background review.

Sampling distribition can be seen as the distribution of frequencies of a range of different outcomes that could possibly occur for a statistic of a population.
