Please help me solve this :)
(1) The data below gives the GPAs of ten randomly chosen engineering students at a certain university: Use Minitab to give 95, 98 and 99% C.Ls for the mean GPA of engineers at this university, assuming normal populations. Give the estimated margin of error in each case. Hand in Minitab printouts of both worksheets. Solution
First let us find mean and std deviation for the sample given.
Mean = 3.181
Std dev = 0.3563
Std error = 0.3563/rt10 = 0.1126
