Question 1182876: A botanist wishes to estimate the typical number of seeds for a certain fruit.
She samples 51 specimens and counts the number of seeds in each.
Use her sample results (mean = 52.4, standard deviation = 17.5) to find the 90% confidence level for the number of seeds for the species.
Answer as an open-interval to 3 decimal places Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! the 90% t-half-interval for df=50 is t*s/sqrt(n)
=1.676*17.5/sqrt(51)=4.107
(48.293, 56.507) units seeds
