A certain test preparation course is designed to help students improve their scores on the USMLE exam. A mock exam is given at the beginning and end of the course to determine the effectiveness of the course. The following measurements are the net change in 3 students' scores on the exam after completing the course: 3,17,11
Using these data, construct a 90 % confidence interval for the average net change in a students score after completing the course. Assume the population is approximately normal.
Step 1 of 4: Calculate the sample mean for the given sample data. Round your answer to one decimal place.
