Question

Transcribed Image Text:The high temperatures (in degrees Fahrenheit) of a random sample of 6 small towns are:
99.8
97.2
99.3
96.3
99.4
97.1
Assume high temperatures are normally distributed. Based on this data, find the 80% confidence
interval of the mean high temperature of towns. Enter your answer as an open-interval (i.e.,
parentheses) accurate to two decimal places (because the sample data are reported accurate to
one decimal place).
80% C.I. =
Answer should be obtained without any preliminary rounding. However, the critical value may be
rounded to 3 decimal places.
