High-power experimental engines are being developed by the Stevens Motor Company for use in its new sports coupe. The engineers have calculated the maximum horsepower for the engine to be 680HP680⁢HP. Sixteen engines are randomly selected for horsepower testing. The sample has an average maximum HP of 650650 with a standard deviation of 50HP50⁢HP. Assume the population is normally distributed.

Step 1 of 2 :

Calculate a confidence interval for the average maximum HP for the experimental engine. Use a significance level of α=0.05α=0.05. Round your answers to two decimal places.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
