Question

Deon wants to advertise how many chocolate chips are in each Big Chip cookie at his bakery. He randomly selects a sample of 79 cookies and finds that the number of chocolate chips per cookie in the sample has a mean of 10.8 and a standard deviation of 1.1. What is the 80% confidence interval for the number of chocolate chips per cookie for Big Chip cookies? Assume the data is from a normally distributed population. Round answers to 3 decimal places where possible.

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.
