Question

I'm struggling with this problem and I need some help with it, please?

10. Birth Weights of Boys Use these summary statistics for birth weights of 195 boys:
x = 32.7 hg, s = 6.6 hg (based on Data Set 4 “Births" in Appendix B). Use a 95% confidence
level. Are the results very different from those found in Exercise 9? Does it appear that boys and
girls have very different birth weights?

Step 1

M = 32.7
t = 1.97
sM = √(6.62/195) = 0.47

μ = M ± t(sM)
μ = 32.7 ± 1.97*0.47
μ = 32.7 ± 0.932
