The resultant point estimates are independent, but based on various sizes of n. To prevent introducing bias into our results, we weighted each estimate by n. A histogram was generated using x ̅, weighted by n, seen in Figure 7. Note that our standard deviation was extremely high. To minimize the variance of our mean, we calculated a new weighted average…

    where we took the readings in centimeters. We wrote down all our readings in Excel and found the confidence intervals. From the observations, we find that the data is more accurate for normal vision than impaired vision because for the standard deviation for normal vision is far lesser than impaired vision. This means that the value for impaired vision are more dispersed and has more errors. There are certain errors on this experiment too. This is because, both the normal and impaired…
