To estimate the mean of a population with unknown distribution shape and unknown standard deviation, we take a random sample of size 64. The sample mean is 22.3 and the sample standard deviation is 8.8. If we wish to compute a 92% confidence interval for the population mean, what will be the t multiplier? (Hint: Use either a Probability Distribution Graph or the Calculator from Minitab.)
