Grandma Gertrude's Chocolates, a family owned business, has an opportunity to supply its product for distribution through a large coffee house chain. However, the coffee house chain has certain specifications regarding cacao content as it wishes to advertise the health benefits (antioxidants) of the chocolate products it sells. In order to determine the mean % cacao in its dark chocolate products, quality inspectors sample 36 pieces. They find a sample mean of 55% with a standard deviation of 4%. The correct value of t* to construct a 90% confidence interval for the true mean % cacao is ________. Group of answer choices 1.690 2.030 1.711 2.797 1.318

Answer:

The correct value is t* = 1.690

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 36 - 1 = 35

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 35 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95[/tex]. So we have T = 1.69, which is the answer to this question.
