customers. Assume the number of litres sold follows the normal distribution with a standard deviation of 16 L. From his records, he
selects a random sample of 17 sales and finds the mean number of litres sold is 53.
a. What is the point estimate of the population mean? (Round the final answer to the nearest whole number.)
The point estimate of the population mean is
b. Develop a 80% confidence interval for the population mean. (Round the final answers to 3 decimal places.)
The 80% confidence interval for the population mean is between
c. Interpret the meaning of part (b).
If 100 such intervals were determined, the population (Click to select) would be included in about
