Question 1077160: 9.2.33
Based on interviews with 99 SARS patients, researchers found that the mean incubation period was 4.7 days, with a standard deviation of 15.2 days. Based on this information, construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean incubation period of the SARS virus. Interpret the interval.
The lowest bound is how many days?
The upper bound is how many days?

t df=98 (0.975)=1.984
1.984*15.2/sqrt (99)=3.03
(1.67, 7.73)
We do not know the true length of incubation, but we are highly confident it lies within the above interval.
