Question

Here are summary statistics for randomly selected weights of newborn​ girls: n equals 158​,x overbar equals 29.4 ​hg,s equals 7.9 hg. Construct a confidence interval estimate of the mean. Use a 90% confidence level. Are these results very different from the confidence interval 27.9 hg less than mu less than 31.7 hg with only 13 sample​ values, x over bar equals 29.8 ​hg, and s equals 3.8 ​hg?

a. What is the confidence interval for the population mean mu​?

 
hg less than mu less than hg ​
(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.)
Expert Solution
Step 1

We have given.

Xbar = m = 29.4 , standard deviation = s = 7.9 .

Sample size = n = 158.

We have to find 90% Confidence Interval= ?
