- In a random sample of ten cell phones, the mean full retail price was $554.00 and the standard deviation was $167.00. Assume the population is normally distributed and use the t-distribution to find the margin of error and construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean u. Interpret the results. Identify the margin of error. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)arrow_forwardA particular fruit's weights are normally distributed, with a mean of 455 grams and a standard deviation of 31 grams.
