For those of you interested in Horror films and Halloween ..........I challenge you to solve this Case Study by applying the Confidence Interval

 

On his crusade to rid the post-apocalyptic world of the Living Dead, a young Zombie Slayer named Hermis was interested in finding the secret as to how the recently deceased was becoming reanimated. Many theories had circulated throughout the remaining civilized world (very little remained, just a couple of walled cities built in the desert to keep zombies out). However, no one was for certain what exactly caused the dead to walk the Earth. One theory did seem relatively positive. Prior to the world-wide pandemic, a satellite had crashed back to Earth carrying a large amount of radioactivity.

 

Hermis had always felt there was a connection between the satellite incident and the Earth ravaged by 100's of thousands of flesh-eating freaks (that used to be your neighbors/friends/family/UOP online classmates).

 

Hermis decided to do an experiment, he captured and killed 10 (n) Zombies (take out the head and the Zombie is destroyed). He had heard a report (prior to the TV networks going off the air) that the blood of the Zombies had carried a level of radioactivity that exceeded normal humans.

 

On average, the level of radioactivity was 198.2 gammas. The standard deviation was 3.3 gammas. Hermis is 95% confident that the 10 zombies he has destroyed have at least 200 gammas of radioactivity in their blood.
