Assume that the population of all such weight gains for baby boys is approximately normally distributed. A study claimed that the mean of this population is 3.454 kg. As a practicing pediatrician, you want to test this claim. So, you select a random sample of baby boys, 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 boys in their first year. Then state whether the confidence interval you construct contradicts the study's claim. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)
