Question

John Jackobsen, an overzealous graduate student, has just completed a first draft of his 700-page dissertation. John
has typed his paper himself and is interested in knowing the average number of typographical errors per page, but
does not want to read the whole paper. Knowing a little bit about business statistics, John selected 40 pages at random
to read and found that the average number of typos per page was 4.3 and the sample standard deviation was 1.2 typos
per page.
i) Calculate the estimated standard error of the mean.
ii) Construct for John in 92 percent confidence interval for the true average number of typos per page in his paper and
interpret the result.
