An FDA representative randomly selects 8 packages of ground chuck from a grocery store and measures the fat content (as a percent) of each package. Assume that the fat contents have an approximately normal distribution. The resulting measurements are given below. Fat Contents (%) 12 18 18 11 17 18 18 16 Step 2 of 2 : Construct a 90 % confidence interval for the true mean fat content of all the packages of ground beef. Round the endpoints to two decimal places, if necessary.

Step 1
Sample mean (x̄) = (12+18+18+11+17+18+18+16)/8 = 16.125 Sample standard deviation (s) = √[((12-16.125)² + (18-16.125)² + (18-16.125)² + (11-16.125)² + (17-16.125)² + (18-16.125)² + (18-16.125)² + (16-16.125)²)/7] = 2.732 Show more…

An FDA representative randomly selects 88 packages of ground chuck from a grocery store and measures the fat content (as a percent) of each package. Assume that the fat contents have an approximately normal distribution. The resulting measurements are given below. Fat Contents (%) 12 18 18 11 17 18 18 16 Step 1 of 2: Calculate the sample mean and the sample standard deviation of the fat contents. Round your answers to two decimal places, if necessary. Step 2 of 2: Construct a 90% confidence interval for the true mean fat content of all the packages of ground beef. Round the endpoints to two decimal places, if necessary.
