In a recent year, a sample of the South American Redeye Piranha was collected by fishermen on a particular river. Wildlife biologists regard this sample as a random sample of all Redeye Piranha in that river. The mean length of the 60 fish in the sample was 12.88 cm, and a 99% confidence level for the true mean length of all Redeye Piranha in that river is 12.09 cm to 13.67 cm. Explain what would happen to the length of the interval if the confidence level were decreased to 95%.
According to the website www.collegedrinkingprevention.gov, "About 25 percent of college students report academic consequences of their drinking including missing class, falling behind, doing poorly on exams or papers, and receiving lower grades overall." A statistics student is curious about drinking habits of students at his college. He wants to estimate the mean number of alcoholic drinks consumed each week by students at his college. He plans to use a 95% confidence interval. He surveys a random sample of 66 students. The sample mean is 3-75 alcoholic drinks per week. The sample standard deviation is 3.68 drinks. Construct the 95% confidence interval to estimate the average number of alcoholic drinks consumed each week by students at this college. Your answer should be rounded to 2 decimal places.
