For a simple random sample of 35 Honda accords (4 cylinder, 2.4 liter, 5-speed automatic), the mean gas mileage was 33 miles with a sample standard deviation of 2.5 miles. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the mean gas mileage of similar 2005 Honda Accords. Interpret the result.

For a simple random sample of forty 2005 Honda Accords (4 cylinder, 2.4 liter, 5 -speed automatic), the mean gas mileage was 23 miles per gallon with a standard deviation of 1.5 miles per gallon. Construct a $95 \%$ confidence interval for the mean gas mileage of similar 2005 Honda Accords. Interpret the interval.

2.) From a simple random sample of 30 Honda Accords (4 cylinder, 2.4 liter, 5-speed automatic), the mean gas mileage was 23 miles per gallon with a standard deviation of 1.5 miles per gallon. Construct a 95% Confidence Interval for the mean gas mileage of similar 2005 Honda Accords.

Choosing a Distribution use the standard normal distribution or the $t$ -distribution to construct a $95 \%$ confidence interval for the population mean. Justify your decision. If neither distribution can be used, explain why. Interpret the results. If convenient, use technology to construct the confidence interval. Sports Cars: Gas Mileage The gas mileages (in miles per gallon) of 45 randomly selected sports cars are listed. $$\begin{array}{lllllllllllllll} 21 & 30 & 19 & 20 & 21 & 24 & 18 & 24 & 27 & 20 & 22 & 30 & 25 & 26 & 23 \\ 22 & 17 & 21 & 24 & 22 & 20 & 24 & 21 & 20 & 18 & 20 & 21 & 20 & 27 & 21 \\ 20 & 20 & 19 & 23 & 17 & 20 & 22 & 19 & 15 & 24 & 19 & 19 & 25 & 22 & 25 \end{array}$$
