Question

Transcribed Image Text:The confidence interval estimate ismih<a<mih.
(Round to one decimal place as needed.)
Does the confidence interval describe the standard deviation for all times during the week? Choose the correct answer below.
O A. Yes. The confidence interval describes the standard deviation for all times during the week.
O B. No. The confidence interval is an estimate of the standard deviation of the population of speeds at 3:30 on a weekday, not other times.

Transcribed Image Text:Listed below are speeds (mi/h) measured from traffic on a busy highway. This simple random sample was obtained at 3:30 P.M. on a weekday. Use the sample data to construct a 98% confidence interval estimate of the population standard
deviation.
