What is the confidence interval estimate of the population mean
μ?

![**Confidence Interval and Normal Distribution Analysis**
**1. Confidence Interval Estimation:**
What is the confidence interval estimate of the population mean \( \mu \)?
\[
\$ \_\_ \text{ million} < \mu < \$ \_\_ \text{ million}
\]
*(Round to one decimal place as needed.)*
**2. Population Analysis:**
What does the result tell us about the population of all celebrities? Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box(es) to complete your choice.
- **A.** We are 90% confident that the interval from \$ \_\_ million to \$ \_\_ million actually contains the true mean net worth of all celebrities. *(Round to one decimal place as needed.)*
- **B.** We are confident that 90% of all celebrities have a net worth between \$ \_\_ million and \$ \_\_ million. *(Round to one decimal place as needed.)*
- **C.** Because the ten wealthiest celebrities are not a representative sample, this doesn't provide any information about the population of all celebrities.
**3. Normal Distribution Verification:**
Do the data appear to be from a normally distributed population as required?
- **A.** Yes, because the pattern of the points in the normal quantile plot is reasonably close to a straight line.
- **B.** Yes, but the points in the normal quantile plot do not lie reasonably close to a straight line or show a systematic pattern that is a straight line pattern.
- **C.** No, but the points in the normal quantile plot lie reasonably close to a straight line and show some systematic pattern that is a straight line pattern.
- **D.** No, because the points lie reasonably close to a straight line, but there is a systematic pattern that is not a straight line pattern.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F48e6a7d0-38a2-4f0f-929f-c6198e406298%2F32094e81-881b-4520-bfab-57f8b743bd11%2Fk8oee4_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
