You can put this solution on YOUR website! A random sample of 40 tomato plants has a mean yield of 12 pounds with a standard deviation of 4 pounds. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean.
----------------------
sample mean = x-bar = 12 lbs
---
Margin of Error = 1.645*4/sqrt(40) = 1.403
-------
90% CI: 12 - 1.403 < u < 12 + 1.403
90% CI: 10.95 < u < 13.403
