A laboratory tested twelve chicken eggs and found that the mean amount of cholesterol was 206 milligrams with s = 12.7 milligrams. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true mean cholesterol content of all such eggs.
-------------------
x-bar = 206
ME = 1.96*12.7/sqrt(12) = 7.19
--------------
95% CI:: 206-7.19 < u < 206+7.19
