We would like to construct a 90% confidence interval for the mean weight of NFL football players.
a. Explain why it is not necessary to assess normality for this sample.
200 324 245
b. Use Excel to find summary statistics (including the margin of error for a 90% confidence interval)
for this data set using the Descriptive Statistics command in the Data Analysis options under the
Data menu. On your Excel file in the summary statistics you just obtained, highlight the point
estimate in yellow and the margin of error in green.
c. Show how to find the boundaries of a 90% confidence interval using only the highlighted values
from your summary statistics output. (For this activity, do not use any other methods to find the
confidence interval.)
d. Write an interpretation for your confidence interval, including units if appropriate. You may
round the upper and lower limits to the nearest whole number.
e. Does the confidence interval estimate the mean weight for the sample of 52 NFL players or for the
population of NFL players? Explain.
