a) Which type of confidence interval / distribution would you use in this scenario? Jus- tify. What assumptions are required to get a valid confidence interval for the mean fat content in hotdogs? Assess whether or not the data meet these conditions. Be specific and comment on all the relevant features in your assessment using the above information. b) Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean fat content in hotdogs (even if the conditions in a) are not met). Show your work your final answer should be displayed as a lower and upper bound and then circled. c) The hot dog vendor claims that his hotdogs are healthy as the mean fat content does not exceed 10%. Do you believe him? Answer with statistical justifications.
