A company wants to estimate the mean net weight of fertilizer cans for a particular kind of fertilizers. Assume that these weights are normally distributed. A random sample of the following 12 cans is collected : 15.6 15.9 16.2 16.0 15.6 16.2 15.9 16.0 15.6 15.7 16.0 16.2 What is the point estimate for mean weight? Find a 99% confidence interval for the mean net weight of all the fertilizer cans.
