Hi
15 bags of pretzels off the assembly line and weighed their contents.
If the sample mean is 10.0 and the sample standard deviation is 0.15
find the 95% confidence interval estimate for the true mean weight of bags
ME = = .08
10 - .08 < < 10 + .08
9.92 < < 10.08
t - test table
DF Probability, p
0.1 0.05 0.01 0.001
14 1.76 2.98 4.14
