2. (CLO 1) Construct a confidence interval to estimate the mean height and the mean shoe size: you must complete the following questions by first choosing a Confidence Level. You may choose from the familiar 90%, 95%, or 99% level of confidence. Denote this by choosing $\alpha$ = _____ a. Find the sample mean and sample standard deviation of the height. Denote them as $\bar{x}$ and $s_x$ respectively. b. Find the sample mean and sample standard deviation of the shoe sizes. Denote them as $\bar{y}$ and $s_y$ respectively. c. Construct and interpret a confidence interval to estimate the mean height of the population. You can use StatCrunch, Microsoft Excel, or any other statistical tool for the confidence interval and then substitute your appropriate numbers. d. Construct and interpret a confidence interval to estimate the mean shoe size of the population. You can use StatCrunch, Microsoft Excel, or any other statistical tool for the confidence interval and then substitute your appropriate numbers.
