The accompanying data represent the total travel tax (in dollars) for a 3-day business trip in 8 randomly selected cities. Supposed that the data come from a population that is normally distributed. 68.69, 79.99, 69.99, 83.01, 79.43, 87.28, 100.71, 99.69 Based on this sample, the mean is $83.60. Suppose an accountant calculated the 95% confidence interval for the mean tax paid for a three-day business trip, and he got 73.59 for the lower bound and 93.61 for the upper bound. What does this mean?
One can be 95% confident that the mean travel tax for all cities is between $73.59.and $93.61.
A survey was conducted that asked 1012 people how many books they had read in the past year. Results indicated that xbar = 11.5 books and s = 16.6 books.
