According to the website www.collegedrinkingprevention.gov, "About 25 percent of college students report academic consequences of their
drinking including missing class, falling behind, doing poorly on exams or papers, and receiving lower grades overall." A statistics student is
curious about drinking habits of students at his college. He wants to estimate the mean number of alcoholic drinks consumed each week by
students at his college. He plans to use a 90% confidence interval. He surveys a random sample of 71 students. The sample mean is 3.93
alcoholic drinks per week. The sample standard deviation is 3.78 drinks.
Let's do some exploration with technology to see how changes in the confidence level affect the confidence interval. Use the applet below to
answer the following questions.
