Question

Bread Clarksburg Bakery is trying to predict how many
loaves of bread to bake. In the last 100 days, the bakery
has sold between 95 and 140 loaves per day. Here are a
histogram and the summary statistics for the number of
loaves sold for the last 100 days.

a) Can you use these data to estimate the number of
loaves sold on the busiest 10% of all days? Explain.
b) Explain why you can use these data to construct a
95% confidence interval for the mean number of
loaves sold per day.
c) Calculate a 95% confidence interval and carefully
interpret what that confidence interval means.

d) If the bakery would have been satisfied with a con-
fidence interval whose margin of error was twice as

wide, how many days’ data could they have used?
e) When the bakery opened, the owners estimated
that they would sell an average of 100 loaves per
day. Does your confidence interval provide strong
evidence that this estimate was incorrect? Explain.
