Question
A random sample of 10 children found that their average growth for the first year was 9.8 inches, with a standard deviation of 0.96 inches. Find the 85% confidence interval of the mean growth of all American children in the first year of life.
What is the name of the confidence interval?
Have the assumptions been met? Check which assumptions have been met.
Check which assumptions have not been met so we would say "the assumption may not be met" or have to check the histogram, box plot, and normal quantile plot.
Which sample statistics are required?
Fill in the interval rounding to three decimal places for each number.
