What critical value of t* should be used for a 95% confidence interval for the population mean based on a random sample of 21 observations?
Find the t-table here.
t* = 1.721

Dr. Moore wanted to estimate the mean cholesterol level for all adult men living in Hartford.
He took a sample of 25 adult men from Hartford and found that the mean cholesterol level
for this sample is 186 mg/dL with a standard deviation of 12 mg/dL. Assume that the cho-
lesterol levels for all adult men in Hartford are (approximately) normally distributed. Con-
struct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean u.
What is the critical value t* from Table D should be used to calculate the margin of error for confidence interval for the mean of a population if n = 18 observations?
