Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.

A researcher wants to estimate the difference between the mean score points of home and visitor teams in a basketball game. For this purpose, researcher randomly selects 24 basketball games and obtains their scores. In these games, home teams' mean score is 80 points with a standard deviation of 35 points while visitor teams' mean score is 79 points with a standard deviation of 10 points. Assuming equal population variances, find the (93)% confidence interval for the difference between the mean score points of home and visitor teams.
