Question

1.

Here are summary statistics for randomly selected weights of newborn​ girls:
n=218​,
x=30.4
​hg,
s=7.3
hg. Construct a confidence interval estimate of the mean. Use a
99​%
confidence level. Are these results very different from the confidence interval
28.5
hg<μ<32.9
hg with only
17
sample​ values,
x=30.7
​hg, and
s=3.1
​hg?
 
 
 
What is the confidence interval for the population mean
μ​?
 
(?)hg<μ<(?)hg ​(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.)
Are the results between the two confidence intervals very​ different?
 
 
A.
​No, because the confidence interval limits are similar.
 
B.
​No, because each confidence interval contains the mean of the other confidence interval.
 
C.
​Yes, because the confidence interval limits are not similar.
 
D.
​Yes, because one confidence interval does not contain the mean of the other confidence interval.
