es A sample of 12 fossil skeletons of an extinct species of bird has been collected. The mean length of the skulls in this sample is 5.29 cm and the standard deviation of the sample is 0.21 cm. Assuming that such measurements are normally distributed, find a 90% confidence interval for the population mean length of the skulls of this species of bird.

Allen's hummingbird (Selasphorus sasin) has been studied by zoologist Bill Alther.t Suppose a small group of 20 Allen's hummingbirds has been under study in Arizona. The average weight for these birds is x = 3.15 grams. Based on previous studies, we can assume that the weights of Allen's hummingbirds have a normal distribution, with o = 0.32 gram. (a) Find an 80% confidence interval for the average weights of Allen's hummingbirds in the study region. What is the margin of error?
