- Allen's hummingbird (Selasphorus sasin) has been studied by zoologist Bill Alther.t Suppose a small group of 20 Allen's hummingbirds has been under study in Arizona. The average weight for these birds is x = 3.15 grams. Based on previous studies, we can assume that the weights of Allen's hummingbirds have a normal distribution, with o = 0.32 gram. (a) Find an 80% confidence interval for the average weights of Allen's hummingbirds in the study region. What is the margin of error?
