AI Summary
This statistics assignment delves into hypothesis testing and confidence interval calculations related to GPA distribution in a private college. The first question examines whether the GPA has increased due to grade inflation, using a significance level of 5% and 1%. The conclusion is that there isn't sufficient evidence to support the claim at the 5% level. The assignment further explains why a 1% significance level might be preferred for its increased accuracy. The second question involves calculating a 95% confidence interval for the GPA distribution and justifies the preference for a 95% interval over a 90% interval due to its wider range and greater accuracy. The assignment clarifies that the 95% confidence interval does not imply a 95% probability of containing the true mean, but rather that 95% of intervals from repeated samples would contain the population mean.
