Question
A nutritionist claims that children 13 to 15 years old are consuming
less than the recommended iron intake of 20.5 mg.
A random sample of 50 children 13 to 15 years old was obtained, and their daily
consumption of iron was measured. Suppose the sample yields the 95% confidence
interval
11.31mg < µ< 13.75mg
Does this provide evidence to support the claim of the nutritionist?
No, since 13.75 mg is less than 20.5 mg.
O Yes, since 11.31 mg is less than 20.5 mg.
O No, since 20.5 mg is not within the confidence interval.
Yes, since both confidence limits are less than 20.5mg.
