Question
A study of the ability of individuals to walk in a straight line reported the accompanying data on cadence (strides per second) for a sample of n = 20 randomly selected healthy men.
0.93 0.85 0.92 0.95 0.93 0.87 1.00 0.92 0.85 0.81
0.79 0.93 0.93 1.05 0.93 1.06 1.06 0.96 0.81 0.99
A normal probability plot gives substantial support to the assumption that the population distribution of cadence is approximately normal. A descriptive summary of the data from Minitab follows.

(a) Calculate and interpret a 95% confidence interval for population mean cadence. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
strides per second
Interpret this interval.
O with 95% confidence, the value of the true mean cadence of all such men falls below the confidence interval.
O with 95% confidence, the value of the true mean cadence of all such men falls above the confidence interval.
O with 95% confidence, the value of the true mean cadence of all such men falls inside the confidence interval.
