Question

Here are summary statistics for randomly selected weights of newborn​ girls:

nequals

235

​,
x overbar

equals32.8

 

​hg,

sequals

7.9

 

hg. Construct a confidence interval estimate of the mean. Use a

99
​%

confidence level. Are these results very different from the confidence interval

29.7
 
hgless than

muless than35.3

 

hg with only

15
 

sample​ values,

x overbar

equals32.5

 

​hg, and

sequals

3.6

 
​hg?
What is the confidence interval for the population mean
mu
​?
 
nothing
 
hgless than

muless thannothing

 
hg ​(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.)
Are the results between the two confidence intervals very​ different?
 
 
A.
​No, because each confidence interval contains the mean of the other confidence interval.
 
B.
​Yes, because one confidence interval does not contain the mean of the other confidence interval.
 
C.
​No, because the confidence interval limits are similar.
 
D.
​Yes, because the confidence interval limits are not similar.
