Suppose we are interested in finding a 95% confidence interval for the mean SAT Verbal score of students at a certain high school. Five students are sampled, and their SAT Verbal scores are 560, 500, 470, 660, and 640. What is the 95% confidence interval for the population mean? O [462.3, 669.7] O [469.9, 662.1] O [486.3, 645.7] O [492.8, 639.2]
