Question

Suppose that a random sample of 11 adult U.S. males has a mean height of 70 inches with a standard deviation of 2 inches. If we assume that the heights of adult males in the U.S. are normally distributed, find a 90% confidence interval for the mean height of all U.S. males. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 90% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to one decimal place.

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.
