The 90% confidence interval for the mean score of all takers of this test is between 59.92 and 64.08. The lower end is 59.92, and the upper end is 64.08.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1-0.9}{2} = 0.05$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1-\alpha$ .

So it is z with a pvalue of $1-0.05 = 0.95$ , so $z = 1.645$

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

$M = 1.645*\frac{4}{\sqrt{10}} = 2.08$

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 62 - 2.08 = 59.92

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 62 + 2.08 = 64.08.

The 90% confidence interval for the mean score of all takers of this test is between 59.92 and 64.08. The lower end is 59.92, and the upper end is 64.08.

Three less than "x" is equal to 13

Arturiano [62]

If you're looking to find X, then X would equal 16, since 16 minus 3 would equal 13
