a survey of 97 randomly selected homeowners found the the mean amount spent on lawn service was $720 per year. construct a 98% confidence interval for the mean amount of money spent on lawn service per household per year. assume the population standard deviation was $123
----------------------------
sample mean = $720
ME = 2.3263*123/sqrt(97) = 29.05
-----
98% CI:: 720-29.05 < u < 720+29.05
98% CI:: 690.95 < u < 749.05
