Question 715968: For sample mean x = 150, sample size n = 36 and sample standard deviation s = 40 find 80% confidence interval for population mean. Population standard deviation is not known, you should use formula on page 328 with t-value from Appendix Table IV (use column t0.10).

----
x-bar = 150
---
E = t*s/sqrt(n) = 1.3062*40/sqrt(36) = 8.708
----
80% CI: 150-8.708 < u < 150+8.708
