Recently gasoline prices rose drastically. Suppose that a study was conducted using truck drivers with equivalent years of experience to test run 24 trucks of a particular model over the same highway. Estimate the population mean fuel consumption for this truck model with 90% confidence if the fuel consumption, in miles per gallon, for these 24 trucks was as follows:15.5  21.0  18.5  19.3  19.7  16.9  20.2  14.516.5  19.2  18.7  18.2  18.0  17.5  18.5  20.518.6  19.1  19.8  18.0  19.8  18.2  20.3  21.8The data are stored in the data file Trucks.

Question

Recently gasoline prices rose drastically. Suppose that a study was conducted using truck drivers with equivalent years of experience to test run 24 trucks of a particular model over the same highway. Estimate the population mean fuel consumption for this truck model with 90% confidence if the fuel consumption, in miles per gallon, for these 24 trucks was as follows:

15.5  21.0  18.5  19.3  19.7  16.9  20.2  14.5
16.5  19.2  18.7  18.2  18.0  17.5  18.5  20.5
18.6  19.1  19.8  18.0  19.8  18.2  20.3  21.8

The data are stored in the data file Trucks.
