65 70 75 85 90 95

The test has a mean of 80, a standard deviation of 5 and a standard error of measurement of 3.
Information given: Mean = 80 SD = 5 SEM = 3 Jim’s score = 85

I need to know the raw score, observed score, true score, ci for 68 and 95

Hi saharalynne! Welcome to MHB! (Smile)

The raw score is the original untransformed score, which is the same as the observed score.
We can never know the true score, since what we measure always contains an unknown error.

The confidence interval (CI) at confidence level 68% is the interval from Mean - SEM to Mean + SEM.
And the CI at confidence level 95% is the interval from Mean - 1.96 x SEM to Mean + 1.96 x SEM.

Can you tell what each of those are? (Wondering)
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
