A laboratory tested twelve chicken eggs and found that the mean amount of cholesterol was 207 milligrams with s = 18.1 milligrams.
Construct a 95% onfidence interval for the true mean cholesterol content of all such eggs.
Assume that the population is normally distributed.
Find the confidence interval specified
-------
sample mean = 207 mg
Margin of error:: 1.96*18.1/sqt(12) = 10.24
-----
95% CI:: 207-10.24 < u < 207+10.24
Ans:: 196.76 < u < 217.24
