Example 2: A local community college professor was interested in interviewing students from her college to determine how much, on average, those students spend on textbooks each semester. She randomly sampled 47 students and found that they had spent an average of $214 on textbooks each semester with a standard deviation of $51. a) Construct and interpret an 87% confidence interval for the true mean amount of money that students at this particular community college spend on textbooks each semester. b) How would the interval that you created in part (a) compare to an 80% confidence interval for the same parameter? Calculate the new interval to justify your answer. c) How would the interval that you created in part (a) compare to a 96% confidence interval for the same parameter? Calculate the new interval to justify your answer.

Suppose a study was conducted of community colleges in California to determine the average cost of tuition for in-state students. The study consisted of 45 community colleges from California. Based on the sample data, the average tuition was $1,440 and the standard deviation was $267. Use this information to construct and interpret a 92% confidence interval for the true average tuition of all California community colleges. Make sure to check any relevant assumptions and state how you determined whether or not they were satisfied (Be as specific as possible). Make sure to type your confidence interval in an interval format with each bound rounded to 3 decimal places [i.e. (12.345, 45.678)]
