**Title: Statistical Analysis of Infant Weight in the United States**---**Introduction to Confidence Intervals**In a recent study, researchers analyzed the weights of one-year-old baby boys in the United States. From a sample of 2,400 subjects, the mean weight was found to be 25.5 pounds. The study utilized a standard deviation of 5.2 pounds to calculate confidence intervals.---**Analysis and Calculations****Question:**Using the data provided, construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean weight of all one-year-old baby boys in the United States. Please round your answer to at least one decimal place.**Methodology:**To calculate the confidence interval, the following steps were applied:1. Identify the sample mean ($\bar{x}$) = 25.5 pounds2. Recognize the standard deviation ($\sigma$) = 5.2 pounds3. Determine the sample size ($n$) = 2,400**Formula for Confidence Interval:**The formula for a confidence interval is:\[\bar{x} \pm Z \left(\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\right)\]Where $Z$ is the Z-score corresponding to the desired confidence level (99%).**Steps:**- Calculate the standard error (SE): $\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$- Multiply the standard error by the Z-score to find the margin of error.- Add and subtract the margin of error from the sample mean to get the confidence interval.**Visualization:**A basic graph or diagram would illustrate the normal distribution curve, showing the confidence interval as a range around the mean weight (25.5 pounds), with markers indicating the upper and lower bounds.---**Conclusion**Understanding confidence intervals helps in predicting the probable range of values for population parameters. This analysis provides insights into the average weight range for one-year-old boys in the U.S., facilitating better health and nutrition planning.---**Next Steps:**For further study, review statistical texts on hypothesis testing and advanced probability distributions to deepen your understanding of these concepts.
