He amounts (in ounces) of juice in eight randomly selected juice bottles are: 15.8, 15.6, 15.1, 15.2, 15.1, 15.5, 15.9, 15.5 construct a 98% confidence interval for the mean amount of juice in all such bottles. assume an approximate normal distribution.
Accepted Solution
A:
Given the sample:Β 15.8, 15.6, 15.1, 15.2, 15.1, 15.5, 15.9, 15.5 mean=15.46 var=0.09410714 standard deviation=0.30676887~0.307 the 98% confidence interval will be: +/-(0.307/sqrt(8)) =+/-0.1085 thus our answer will be: 15.46+/-0.1085 =15.5685 or15.3515
