    Confidence Interval

    A random sample of 172 students was asked to rate on a scale to from 1 (not important) to 5 (extremely important) health benefits as a job characteristic (note that the rating scale can also have decimals, i.e. a student can give a rating of 1.32). The sample mean rating was 3.31, and the sample standard deviation was 0.70.
