Question:
A sample offifth-grade classes was studied in an article. One of the variables collected was the class size in terms ofstudent-to-faculty ratio. Thestudent-to-faculty ratios of the 84 fifth-grade classes sampled have a mean of 13.23 and a standard deviation of 2.21. Complete parts(a) through(d) below.
