Agree with all of them but the confidence interval, how did u do it? I calculated sample s and then used 9 degrees of freedom with t score? Not sure tho

I calculated the mean and standard deviation from the x and x^2 with the formula from the formula book and then used 1.96 as the Z value did 4.7+/- 1.96 x standard deviation/ sq root N

I didn't think you could cause it said the distribution was not symmetrical or something

Yeah, I thought I messed it up, I forgot about the sign test in the moment

france ireland question you had to do paired t test pretty sure , cause it was a test for difference and them saying it wasn’t symmetrically distributed meant wilcoxon wasn’t valid . also the confidence interval u had to calculate sample variance and use t distribution
