Question

 

Here are summary statistics for randomly selected weights of newborn​ girls: n=240​, x=28.7 ​hg, s=6.3
hg. Construct a confidence interval estimate of the mean. Use a 99​% confidence level. Are these results very different from the confidence interval 27.1 hg<μ<30.1 hg with only 15 sample​ values, x=28.6 ​hg, and s=1.9 hg?
What is the confidence interval for the population mean μ​?
_hg<u<_hg 
Are the results between the two confidence intervals very​ different?
​Yes, because one confidence interval does not contain the mean of the other confidence interval.
 
B.
​Yes, because the confidence interval limits are not similar.
 
C.
​No, because each confidence interval contains the mean of the other confidence interval.
 
D.
​No, because the confidence interval limits are similar.
