TABLE 8-4
To become an actuary, it is necessary to pass a series of 10 exams, including the most important one, an exam in probability and statistics.

They take a sample of 8 actuarial students in this program and determine that their scores are: 2, 5, 8, 8, 7, 6, 5, and 7. This sample will be used to calculate a 90% confidence interval for the mean score for actuarial students in the special study program.
-Referring to Table 8-4, it is possible that the confidence interval obtained will not contain the mean score for all actuarial students in the special class.
