students scored an average of
111111
points on the final with a standard deviation of
8.98.9
points. Complete parts? a) and? b) below.

?b) Does this improvement seem to be practically? significant? Choose the correct answer below and fill in any answer boxes within your choice.
?(Round to one decimal place as? needed.)
A.
No. A? 95% confidence interval for the mean score using the software is
left parenthesis nothing comma nothing right parenthesis,.
?Students' scores improved by no more than 5 points on the exam. This might not be enough to justify the cost.
B.
Yes. A? 95% confidence interval for the mean score using the software is
left parenthesis nothing comma nothing right parenthesis,.
