SAT scores are normally distributed with a mean of 1,500 and a standard deviation of 300. An administrator at a college is interested in estimating the average SAT score of first-year students. If the administrator would like to limit the margin of error of the 88% confidence interval to 15 points, how many students should the administrator sample? Make sure to give a whole number answer.

The administrator should sample 968 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of .

That is z with a p-value of , so Z = 1.555.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

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

Standard deviation of 300.

This means that

If the administrator would like to limit the margin of error of the 88% confidence interval to 15 points, how many students should the administrator sample?

This is n for which M = 15. So

Dividing both sides by 15

Rounding up:

The administrator should sample 968 students.
