Question 442346: A study was conducted to estimate the mean amount spent on birthday gifts for a typical family having two children. A sample of 120 was taken, and the mean amount spent was $225.43. Assuming a standard deviation equal to $35.89, find the 95% confidence interval for mean, the mean for all such families.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! A sample of 120 was taken, and the mean amount spent was $225.43. Assuming a standard deviation equal to $35.89, find the 95% confidence interval for mean, the mean for all such families.
----
x-bar = 225.43
---
E = 1.96*35.89/sqrt(120) = 6.4215
--------------
95% CI: 225.43-6.4215 < u < 225.43+6.4315
