Question
In a sample of n = 18 lichen specimens, the researchers found the mean and standard deviation of the amount of the radioactive element, cesium-137, that was present to be 0.009 and 0.006 microcurie per
milliliter, respectively. Suppose the researchers want to increase the sample size in order to estimate the mean µ to within 0.001 microcurie per milliliter of its true value, using a 95% confidence interval. Complete
parts a through c.
a. What is the confidence level desired by the researchers?
The confidence level is
