A researcher wanted to estimate the total number of hours students spent watching Zoom lectures each week for their courses. A sample of 48 students was surveyed and the sample spent a mean time of 22.1 hours watching Zoom lectures in a week, with a sample standard deviation of 4.7 hours. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean number of hours students spent watching Zoom lectures. Round your final answers to one decimal place. ______________ hours ≤ μ ≤ ______________ hours

To determine how many hours per week freshmen college students watch television, a random sample of 225 students was selected. It was determined that the students in the sample spent an average of 35 hours watching TV per week. The population standard deviation is known to be 12 hours. Provide a 95% confidence interval estimate for the average number of hours that all college freshmen spend watching TV per week
