Question
A botanist wishes to estimate the typical number of seeds for a certain fruit. She samples 72 specimens and counts the number of seeds in each. Use her sample results (mean = 41.9, standard deviation = 5.6) to find the 80% confidence interval for the number of seeds for the species. Enter your answer as an open-interval (i.e., parentheses) accurate to 3 decimal places.
