Question

1) A study of 29 female Sumatran elephants provided a 96% confidence t-interval for the mean shoulder height of all female Sumatran elephants
as (195.8, 235.4) cm.

a) What is the reasonable point estimate for the
mean shoulder height of all female Sumatran
elephants, µ.
A. 195.8cm.
B. 215.6cm.
C. 235.4cm.
D. All of the aboves are reasonable point estimates for µ.
E. Since we don’t know the population, we
can’t estimate µ. 


b) Assume the margin of error is 10. What
is the standard error (SE) of the mean?
A. 4.642
B. 4.651.
C. 4.883.
D. 4.890.
E. Cannot calculate based on the given information.
