For the one-mean t-interval procedure, express the formula for the endpoints of a confidence interval in the form point estimate ± margin of error.
In a factory the 95% confidence interval of the mean net weight of the chocolates produced was estimated.
Based on a random sample of 400 chocolates the mean net weight is between 99 grams and 101 grams. Give the maximum error of the estimate in grams.
A thread manufacturer wants to estimate the mean tensile strength of a particular type of thread. A random sample of 15 examples of the thread are tested. The mean tensile strength of the sample is 7.64 pounds with a sample standard deviation of 0.48 pounds. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean tensile strength of that type of thread. In the next question, you will enter the upper limit of the interval. For now, enter the lower limit of the interval, rounded to two decimal places.

- I want to construct a confidence interval (CI) for estimating the population mean of IQ scores. I sampled 65 university students and measured their IQ. For these 100 participants, the sample mean and standard deviation are 102 and 14.8, respectively. Compute the 95% CI and interpret the CI.
