Make a his-togram of the distribution of these 31 scores. Does your plot show outliers, clear skewness, or other non- Normal features? Using a calculator, find the mean and standard deviation of these scores. (b) Treat the 31 girls as an SRS of all middle- school girls in the school district. Give a 95% confidence interval for the mean score in the population. (c) In fact, the scores are those of all seventh- grade girls in one of the several schools in the district.
