Question

Suppose that the number of dollars spent per week on groceries are normally distributed with an unknown mean and standard deviation. A random sample of 18 grocery bills is taken and gives a sample mean of 103 dollars and a sample standard deviation of 10 dollars.\ df t_{0.10} t_{0.05} t_{0.025} t_{0.01} t_{0.005}\ ... ... ... ... ...\ 16 1.337 1.746 2.120 2.583 2.921\ 17 1.333 1.740 2.110 2.567 2.898\ 18 1.330 1.734 2.101 2.552 2.878\ 19 1.328 1.729 2.093 2.539 2.861\ 20 1.325 1.725 2.086 2.528 2.845\ Find the margin of error for a 98\% confidence interval estimate for the population mean using the Student's $t$-distribution.\ Round the final answer to two decimal places.
