Question

Wildlife conservationists studying grizzly bears in the United States found that the mean weight of 2424 adult males was 600600 pounds with a standard deviation of 8383 pounds. Construct a 95%95% confidence interval for the mean weight of all adult male grizzly bears in the United States. Assume that the weights of all adult male grizzly bears in the United States are normally distributed. Round to the nearest whole number.

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.
