Help me please

The following data represent the pH of rain for a random sample of 12 rain dates. A normal probability plot suggests the data could come from a population that is normally distributed. A boxplot indicates there are no outliers. Complete
parts a) through d) below.
Click the icon to view the table of critical t-values.
(a) Determine a point estimate for the population mean.
A point estimate for the population mean is
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
(b) Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the mean pH of rainwater. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice.
(Use ascending order. Round to two decimal places as needed.)
O A. There is a 95% probability that the true mean pH of rain water is between and
O B. There is 95% confidence that the population mean pH of rain water is between and
O C. If repeated samples are taken, 95% of them will have a sample pH of rain water between and
(c) Construct and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the mean pH of rainwater. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice.
(Use ascending order. Round to two decimal places as needed.)
O A. There is 99% confidence that the population mean pH of rain water is between and

As the level of confidence increases, the width of the interval This makes sense since the Table of Critical t-Values Degrees of Freedom 0.25 3 4 5 CHEGA HARAK B2928 58830 86888 =2832368A* ***** 31 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 22 23 28 29 30 31 34 35 37 39 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 1000 z Area in right tail Degrees of 0.25 Freedom t-Distribution Area in Right Tail 0.20 0.15 0.10 0.05 0.025 0.02 0.005 0.0025 6.314 12.706 15.894 2.920 4.303 4,849 8.610 6.869 0.001 0.0005 318.309 636.619 14.089 22.327 31.599 7453 10.215 12.924 5.598 7173 4.773 5.893 5.208 4.317 4.029 4.785 3.833 4.501 3.690 4.297 3.581 4.144 3.497 4.025 2.110 2.224 0.685 1.000 1.376 1.963 3.078 31.821 63.657 127.321 0.816 1.061 1.386 1.886 6.965 9.925 0.765 0.978 1.250 1.638 2.353 3.182 3.482 4.541 5.841 0.741 0.941 1.190 1.533 2.132 2.776 2.999 3.747 4.604 0.727 0.920 1.156 1.476 2.015 2.571 2.757 3.365 4.032 0.718 1.134 0.906 1.440 1.943 2.447 3.143 2.612 3.707 0.711 0.896 1.119 1.415 1.895 2.365 2.517 2.998 3.499 0.706 0.889 1.108 1.397 1.860 2.306 2,449 2.896 3.355 0.703 0.883 1.100 1.383 1.833 2.262 2.398 2.821 3.250 0.700 0.879 1.093 1.372 1.812 2.228 2.359 2.764 3.169 0.697 0.876 1.088 1.363 1.796 2.201 2.328 2.718 3.106 0.695 0.873 1.083 1.356 1.782 2.179 2.303 2.681 3.055 3.428 3.930 0.694 0.870 1.079 1.350 1.771 2.160 2.282 2.650 3.012 3.372 3.852 0.692 0.868 1.076 1.345 1.761 2.145 2,264 2.624 2.977 3.326 3.787 0.691 0.866 1.074 1.341 1.753 2.131 2.249 2.602 2.947 3.286 3.733 0.690 0.865 1.071 1.337 1.746 2.120 2.235 2.583 2.921 0.689 0.863 1.069 1.333 1.740 2.567 2.898 0.688 0.862 1.067 1.330 1.734 2.101 2.214 2.552 2.878 0.688 0.861 1.066 1.328 1.729 2.093 2.205 2.539 2.861 0.687 0.860 1.064 1.325 1.725 2.086 2.197 2.528 2.845 0.686 0.859 1.063 1.323 1.721 2.080 2.189 2.518 2.831 0.686 0.858 1.061 1.321 1.717 2.074 2.183 2.508 2.819 0.858 1.060 1.319 1.714 2,069 2.177 2.500 2.807 0.685 0.857 1.059 1.318 1.711 2.064 2.172 2.492 2.797 0.684 0.856 1.058 1.316 1.708 2.060 2.167 2.485 2.787 0.684 0.856 1.058 1.315 1.706 2.056 2.162 2.479 2.779 3.067 3.435 0.684 0.855 1.057 1.314 1.703 2.052 2.158 2.473 2.771 3.057 3.421 0.683 0.855 1.056 1.313 1.701 2.048 2.154 2.467 2.763 3,047 3.408 0.683 0.854 1.055 1.311 1.699 2.045 2.150 2.462 2.756 3.038 3.396 0.683 0.854 1.055 1.310 1.697 2.042 2.147 2,457 2.750 3.030 3.385 0.682 0.853 1.054 1.309 1.696 2,040 2.144 2,453 2.744 3.022 3.375 0.682 0.853 1.054 1.309 1.694 2,037 2.141 2.449 2.738 3.015 3.365 0.682 0.853 1.053 1.308 1.692 2.035 2.138 2.445 2.733 3.008 3.356 0.682 0.852 1.052 1.307 1.691 2.032 2.136 2.441 2.728 3.348 0.682 0.852 1.052 1.306 1.690 2.030 2.133 2.438 2.724 2.996 3.340 0.681 0.852 1.052 1.306 1.688 2.028 2.131 2.434 2.719 2.990 3.333 0.681 0.851 1.051 1.305 1.687 2.026 2.129 2.431 2.715 2.985 3.326 0.681 0.851 1.051 1.304 1.686 2.024 2.127 2.429 2.712 2.980 3.319 0.681 0.851 1.050 1.304 1.685 2.023 2.125 2.426 2.708 2.976 3.313 0.681 0.851 1.050 1.303 1.684 2.021 2.123 2.423 2.704 2.971 3.307 0.679 0,849 1.047 1.299 1.676 2.009 2.109 2.403 2.678 2.937 3.261 0.679 0.848 1.045 1.296 1.671 2.000 2.099 2.390 2.660 2.915 3.232 0.678 0.847 1.044 1.294 1.667 1.994 2.093 2.381 2.648 3.435 0.678 0.846 1.043 1.292 1.664 1.990 2.088 2.374 2.639 3.416 0.677 0.846 1.042 1291 1.662 1.987 2,084 2.368 2.632 3.402 0.677 0.845 1.042 1.290 1.660 1.984 2.081 2.364 2.626 2.871 3.174 3.390 0.675 0.842 1.037 1.282 1.646 1.962 2.056 2.330 2.581 2.813 3.098 3.300 0.674 0.842 1.036 1.282 1.645 1.960 2,054 2.326 2.576 2.807 3.090 3.291 0.20 0.15 0.10 0.05 0.025 0.02 3.002 3.496 3.460 2,899 3.211 2.887 3.195 2.878 3.183 0.01 0.005 0.0025 0.001 0.0005 5.58 5.02 5.34 t-Distribution A man in Dinkt Tail Print 0.01 5.72 4.59 4.76 Done 3.252 3.686 3.222 3.646 3.197 3.610 3.174 3.579 3.153 3.552 3.135 3.527 3.119 3.505 3.104 3.485 3.091 3.467 3.078 3.450 5.959 5.408 5.041 4.781 4.587 4.437 4.318 4.221 4.140 4.073 4.015 3.965 3.922 3.883 3.850 3.819 3.792 3.768 3.745 3.725 3.707 3.690 3.674 3.659 3.646 3.633 3.622 3.611 3.601 3.591 3.582 3.574 3.566 3.558 3.551 0 X 4.99 4.74 4.56 ime Remaining: 02:04:18 D 4.80 5.19 5.71 Next
