(Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) Value of f d. Develop the 99% confidence interval for the population mean (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.) Confidence interval for the population mean is Would it be reasonable ta canclude that the popuilation mean is 50 gallons? and Yes O It is not possible to tell O No

Explanation / Answer

Ans:

a-1)population mean is unknown.

a-2)best estimate=sample mean=65

c)df=28-1=27

critical t value=tinv(0.01,27)=2.771

d)

99% Confidence interval for population mean

=65+/-2.771*20/sqrt(28)

=65+/-10.472

=(54.528,75.472)

e)As,CI does not include 50,so it is not reasonable to conclude that population mean is 50 gallons.

No.
