SAT Scores Estimate the variance in mean mathematics SAT scores by state, using the randomly selected scores listed below. Estimate with 99% confidence. Assume the variable is normally distributed. Round the sample variance and final answers to one decimal place. 565 209 502 211 572 543 550 209 490 515 499

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.
