Sulfur compounds cause "off odors" in wine, so winemakers want to know the odor threshold — the lowest concentration of a compound that the human nose can detect. The odor threshold for dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in trained wine tasters is about 2525 micrograms per liter of wine (?g/L).(�g/L). The untrained noses of consumers may be less sensitive, however. The DMS odor thresholds for 1010 untrained students are given. DMS odor thresholds

Question

Sulfur compounds cause "off odors" in wine, so winemakers want to know the odor threshold — the lowest concentration of a compound that the human nose can detect. The odor threshold for dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in trained wine tasters is about 2525 micrograms per liter of wine (?g/L).(�g/L). The untrained noses of consumers may be less sensitive, however. The DMS odor thresholds for 1010 untrained students are given.

Assume that the standard deviation of the odor threshold for untrained noses is known to be ?=7 ?g/L.

 
 

Give a 95% confidence interval for the mean DMS odor threshold among all students. Use the four‑step process. Give your answer as an interval in the form (lower bound, upper bound). Give your numbers to two decimal places.

What is the confidence interval ?
