1. Simple random samples of 350 were taken from a population and the same mean and
standard deviation were computed to be 92.45 and 12.20, respectively. Construct a 95%
confidence interval for the population mean.

2. Additional simple random samples of 350 were taken from the same population and the
sample mean and standard deviation were also computed to be 91.75 and 14.50, respectively.
Construct a 97% confidence interval for the population mean.

3. In a recent survey of 850 students, it was found out that 476 of them have laptops.
