A survey of the mean number of cents off that coupons give was conducted by randomly surveying one coupon per page from the coupon sections of a recent San Jose Mercury News. The following data were collected: 25; 70; 45; 65; 30; 55; 40; 40; 30; 55; $1.50; 40; 65; 40. Assume the underlying distribution is approximately normal. NOTE: If you are using a Student's t-distribution, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.) Part (a)

Question
A survey of the mean number of cents off that coupons give was conducted by randomly surveying one coupon per page from the coupon sections of a recent San Jose Mercury News. The following data were collected: 25; 70; 45; 65; 30; 55; 40; 40; 30; 55; $1.50; 40; 65; 40. Assume the underlying distribution is approximately normal.

NOTE: If you are using a Student's t-distribution, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.)

  • Part (a)

    (i) Round your answer to two decimal places.
    x =  ¢


    (ii) Round your answer to two decimal places.
    sx =  ¢


    (iii) Enter an exact number as an integer, fraction, or decimal.
    n = 


    (iv) Enter an exact number as an integer, fraction, or decimal.
    n − 1 = 
    Which distribution should you use for this problem? (Enter your answer in the form z or tdf where df is the degrees of freedom.)
     
    Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean worth of coupons.
    (i) State the confidence interval. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
     
      ¢,  ¢
     


    (ii) Sketch the graph.
    (iii) Calculate the error bound. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
    If many random samples were taken of size 14, what percent of the 95% confidence intervals constructed should contain the population mean worth of coupons?
