Question

Recorded here are the germination times (in days) for

randomly chosen seeds of a new type of bean.

Send data to calculator

Send data to Excel

Assuming that germination times are normally distributed, find a

99%

confidence interval for the mean germination time for all beans of this type. Give the lower limit and upper limit of the

99%

confidence interval.

Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to one decimal place. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

Lower limit:
Upper limit:

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.
