(d) Interpret your 95% confidence interval in context of the data.
(e) Based on the intervals you calculated, do you think it is reasonable to conclude that
the mean number of students in a statistics class is greater than 30 students? Explain
your reasoning.
(f) Using the sample standard deviation of the data given in this problem, calculate the
sample size needed to produce an 80% confidence interval with a margin of error of
2.7.
