A publisher wants to estimate the mean length of time (in minutes) all adults spend reading newspapers. To determine this estimate, the publisher takes a random sample o 15 people and obtains the results below. From past studies, the publisher assumes o is 2.3 minutes and that the population of times is normally distributed. 11 6. 7 6 6 10 12 10 11 10 9 11 12 Construct the 90% and 99% confidence intervals for the population mean. Which interval is wider? If convenient, use technology to construct the confidence intervals. The 90% confidence interval is | ). (Round to one decimal place as needed.) The 99% confidence interval is | ). (Round to one decimal place as needed.) Which interval is wider? O The 99% confidence interval The 90% confidence interval
