- A soft drink manufacturer wishes to know how many soft drinks teenagers drink each week. They want to construct a 98% confidence interval for the mean and are assuming that the population standard deviation for the number of soft drinks consumed each week is 1.3. The study found that for a sample of 2549 teenagers the mean number of softdrinks consumed per week is 5.4 . Construct the desired confidence interval round your answers to one decimal place.arrow_forwardSuppose you are told that a 95% confidence interval for the average price of a gallon of regular gasoline in your state is from $2.88 to $4.11. Use the fact that the confidence interval for the mean is in the form x − E to x + E to compute the sample mean and the maximal margin of error E.
