Question

In order to determine the average weight of carry-on luggage by passengers in airplanes, a sample of 60 pieces of carry-on luggage was collected and weighed. The average weight was 27.5 pounds. Assume that we know the standard deviation of the population to be 7.25 pounds. Also, assume the population is normally distributed. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

(a)

Determine a 99% confidence interval estimate for the population mean weight (in pounds) of the carry-on luggage.

pounds to pounds

(b)

Determine a 95% confidence interval estimate for the population mean weight (in pounds) of the carry-on luggage.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
