The following data represents the monthly service fee in dollars if a customer’s account falls below the minimum required $1,500 balance for a sample of 26 banks for direct-deposit customers. Bancost2

a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean monthly service fee in dollars if a customer’s account falls below the minimum required balance.
The sample mean is 7.1538...
Sample standard dev. = 3.0554...
----
E = 1.96*s/sqrt(n) = 1.1745
----------
95% CI: 7.1538-1.1745 < u < 7.1538+1.1745
95% CI: 5.9793 < u < 8.3283
-----------------
b) Interpret the interval constructed in (a)
We are 95% confident the population mean lies
between those two numbers.
