A simple random sample of size n=17 is drawn from a population that is normally distributed. The sample mean is found to be x̄=67 and the sample standard deviation is found to be s=11. Construct a 90% confidence interval about the population mean.

A 90% confidence interval for a population mean is (65, 77). The population distribution is approximately normal and the population standard deviation is unknown. This confidence interval is based on a simple random sample of 25 observations. Calculate the sample mean, the margin of error, and the sample standard deviation.
