Problem 13E
Assume that all variable are approximately normally distributed.
Students per Teacher in U.S. Public SchoolsThe national average for the number of students per teacher for all U.S. public schools is 15.9. A random sample of 12 school districts from a moderately populated area showed that the mean number of students per teacher was 19.2 with a variance of 4.41. Estimate the true mean number of students per teacher with 95% confidence. How does your estimate compare with the national average?
