- A notable indicator of a baby's health is the weight gained in the first year of the baby's life. Assume that the population of all such weight gains for baby girls is approximately normally distributed. A study claimed that the mean of this population is 5.28 kg. As a practicing pediatrician, you want to test this claim. So, you select a random sample of 13 baby girls, and you record the weight each gained in their first year. Follow the steps below to construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean of all the weight gains for baby girls in their first year. Then state whether the confidence interval you construct contradicts the study's claim. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Click on "Take Sample" to see the results for your random sample.
