you measure the weights of a random sample of twenty-five people. The sample mean is 60 kg. Suppose that the mean weights of people follow a normal distribution with an unknown mean and standard deviation of 5 kg. You compute a 95% confidence interval for μ. The 95% confidence interval for μ is?
ANSWER IN T-DISTRIBUTION.

Tina catches a 14-pound bass. She does not know the population mean or standard deviation. So she takes a sample of five friends and they say the last bass they caught was 9, 12, 13, 10, and 10 pounds. Find the t and calculate a 95% (α = .05) confidence interval.
esc Introduction A chain of restaurants has historically had a mean wait time of 9 minutes for its customers. Recently, the restaurant added several very popular dishes back to their menu. Due to this, the manager suspects the wait time, μ, has increased. He takes a random sample of 44 customers. The mean wait time for the sample is 9.6 minutes. Assume the population standard deviation for the wait times is known to be 3.3 minutes. Can the manager conclude that the mean wait time is now greater than 9 minutes?
