Question
At wind speeds above 1000 centimeters per second (cm/sec), significant sand-moving events begin to occur. Wind speeds below 1000 cm/sec deposit sand and wind speeds above 1000 cm/sec move sand to new locations. The cyclic nature of wind and moving sand determines the shape and location of large dunes. At a test site, the prevailing direction of the wind did not change noticeably. However, the velocity did change. Sixty-five wind speed readings gave an average velocity of x = 1075 cm/sec. Based on long-term experience, ? can be assumed to be 255 cm/sec.
(a) Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean wind speed at this site. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)
