Explain why it is not necessary to assess normality for this sample Write an interpretation for your confidence interval, including units if appropriate. You may round the upper and lower limits to the nearest whole number. Does the confidence interval estimate the mean weight for the sample of 52 NFL players or for the population of NFL players? Explain.
