Assume that, for federally sentenced adult male prisoners, the population standard deviation of sentence length is 17.2 years. a. Find and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the mean sentence length, μ, of all federally sentenced adult male prisoners. b. Under what conditions can you freely apply the procedure that you used in part (a)?
