A random sample of the price (in $) of a hamburger at 37 restaurants in ACME City found:
$9.83, s = $1.2.
Build a 95% Cl for the population mean price of a hamburger in ACME City.
Round all intermediate calculations to two decimals, then construct the Cl and enter like this: (min,max).
Do not include the $ sign.
Note: if you use a built-in Cl command on a calculator/computer, you might get marked wrong due to
rounding. Use the formulas given in the text/notes.
a. Since n > 30,
O We use s, not o
O We use a Z-interval
We use a T-interval
O It is not important that hamburger prices be normally distributed
b. The CI is:

If ????μold is the mean of all possible measurements of the bar using the old calibration, and ????μnew is the mean of all possible measurements of the bar using a re-calibrated scale. It is desired that ????−????=4μnew−μold=4.
