In a random sample of ten cell​ phones, the mean full retail price was ​$585.50 and the standard deviation was ​$187.00. Assume the population is normally distributed and use the​ t-distribution to find the margin of error and construct a 90​% confidence interval for the population mean μ. Interpret the results. Identify the margin of error.

Question
In a random sample of
ten
cell​ phones, the mean full retail price was
​$585.50
and the standard deviation was
​$187.00.
Assume the population is normally distributed and use the​ t-distribution to find the margin of error and construct a
90​%
confidence interval for the population mean
μ.
Interpret the results.
Identify the margin of error.

​(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.)
Construct a

confidence interval for the population mean.
 
,
​(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.)
Interpret the results. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
​(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not​ round.)
 
A.
With
nothing​%
​confidence, it can be said that most cell phones in the population have full retail prices​ (in dollars) that are between the​ interval's endpoints.
 
B.
It can be said that
nothing​%
of the population of cell phones have full retail prices​ (in dollars) that are between the​ interval's endpoints.
 
C.
With
nothing​%
​confidence, it can be said that the population mean full retail price of cell phones​ (in dollars) is between the​ interval's endpoints.
 
D.
nothing​%
of all random samples of
ten
people from the population of cell phones will have a mean full retail price​ (in dollars) that is between the​ interval's endpoints.
