Part 1
a. Express the confidence interval in the format that uses the​ "less than" symbol. Given that the original listed data use one decimal​ place, round the confidence interval limits accordingly.
 
13.0513.05
Mbps<μ<22.1522.15
Mbps
​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
Part 2
b. Identify the best point estimate of
μ
and the margin of error.
 
The point estimate of
μ
is
17.6017.60
Mbps.
​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
Part 3
The margin of error is
E=4.554.55
Mbps.
​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
Part 4
c. In constructing the confidence interval estimate of
μ​,
why is it not necessary to confirm that the sample data appear to be from a population with a normal​ distribution?
 
 
A.
Because the population standard deviation is​ known, the normal distribution can be used to construct the confidence interval.
 
B.
Because the sample is a random​ sample, the distribution of sample means can be treated as a normal distribution.
 
C.
Because the sample size of 50 is greater than​ 30, the distribution of sample means can be treated as a normal distribution.
 
D.
Because the sample standard deviation is​ known, the normal distribution can be used to construct the confidence interval.
