Health care workers who use latex gloves with glove powder on a daily basis are particularly susceptible to developing a latex allergy. Each in a sample of 47 hospital employees who were
diagnosed with a latex allergy based on a skin-prick test reported on their exposure to latex gloves. Summary statistics for the number of latex gloves used per week are x = 19.7 and s = 12.1.
Complete parts (a)-(d).
a. Give a point estimate for the average number of latex gloves used per week by all health care workers with a latex allergy.
19.7
b. Form a 95% confidence interval for the average number of latex gloves used per week by all health care workers with a latex allergy.
(16.24, 23.16)
(Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the expression. Round to two decimal places as needed.)
c. Give a practical interpretation of the interval, part (b).
