Is smoking during pregnancy associated with premature births? To investigate this question, researchers selected a random sample of 110 pregnant women who were smokers. The average pregnancy length for this sample of smokers was 260 days. From a large body of research, it is known that length of human pregnancy has a standard deviation of 16 days. The researchers assume that smoking does not affect the variability in pregnancy length. Find the 95% confidence interval to estimate the length of pregnancy for women who smoke. (Note: The critical z-value to use, Ze is: 1.960) ( ) Your answer should be rounded to 3 decimal places.
