To determine the mileage of a new model automobile, a random sample of 36 cars was tested. A sample with a mean of 32.6 mpg and a standard deviation of 1.6 mpg was obtained. Construct the 90% confidence interval for the actual mean mpg of the population of this model automobile.
------------------------
x-bar = 32.6
ME = 1.645*(1.6)/sqrt(36)) = 0.44
-----
90% CI:: 32.6-0.44 < u < 32.6+0.44
