Bob Nale is the owner of Nale’s Quick Fill. Bob would like to estimate the mean number of gallons of gasoline sold to his customers. Assume the number of gallons sold follows the normal distribution with a population standard deviation of 1.90 gallons. From his records, he selects a random sample of 45 sales and finds the mean number of gallons sold is 5.70. b. Develop a 90% confidence interval for the population mean. (Use z Distribution Table.) (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Question

b. Develop a 90% confidence interval for the population mean. (Use z Distribution Table.) (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
