6.3.2 In a study of the effects of early Alzheimer's discase on nondeclarative memory, Reber et al.

100%

Did I calculate (a) through (e) correctly? I am having trouble with f and g.  For g: I am 95% confident that in eight subjects who have a category fluency test score will score somewhere between 6 and 11??

For G: In repeated sampling, this method produces intervals that capture the sample mean in about 95% of samples??

Thank you
