Below are weights (in lbs) of glass discarded in one week by randomly selected households.
3.52 8.87 3.99 3.61 2.33 3.21 0.25 4.94
Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean weight of glass discarded by all households.
----------------
sample mean: 3.84
Sample std: 2.457
------------------------
standard error = ts/sqrt(n)
t = invT(0.025,7) = 2.3646
---
standard error = 2.3646*2.457/sqrt(7) = 2.196
------------------------------
95% CI: 3.84-2.196 < u < 3.84+2.196
95% CI:1.644 < u < 6.036
===============================
