A botanist wishes to estimate the typical number of seeds for a certain fruit. She samples 35 specimens and counts the number of seeds in each. Use her sample results (mean = 62.5, standard deviation = 18.2) to find the 98% confidence interval for the number of seeds for the species. Enter your answer as an open-interval (i.e., parentheses) accurate to 3 decimal places.

You are given the sample mean and the population standard deviation. Use this information to construct the 90% and 95% confidence intervals for the population mean. Interpret the results and compare the widths of the confidence intervals. From a random sample of 65 dates, the mean record high daily temperature in a certain city has a mean of 84.70°F. Assume the population standard deviation is 14.54°F.
You measure 38 textbooks' weights, and find they have a mean weight of 58 ounces. Assume the population standard deviation is 3.9 ounces. Based on this, construct a 90% confidence interval for the true population mean textbook weight .
A developmental psychologist is interested in studying how long babies gaze at a photograph of a human face. To test this question, she shows a picture to a sample of six babies and records the length of their gaze in seconds. The data are as follows: 12, 17, 18, 20, 20, 29. Calculate the mean, median, mode, range, variance and standard deviation for the sample.
