Answer:
(a) μ = 3.01 pounds
(b) 2.99985 to 3.02015 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The estimate population mean (μ) is given by the point estimate mean found in the sample, which is 3.01 pounds.
μ = 3.01 pounds.
b) At a 95% confidence interval, with n=36, z= 2.03 and the confidence interval is given by:
[tex]x\pm z*\frac{s}{\sqrt n}\\3.01\pm 2.03\frac{0.03}{\sqrt 36}\\2.99985\ to\ 3.02015\ pounds[/tex]
