a. To compute the confidence interval use a ? z t  distribution.

b. With 90% confidence the population mean number of tics per hour that children with Tourette syndrome exhibit is between  and .

c. If many groups of 11 randomly selected children with Tourette syndrome are observed, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About  percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population mean number of tics per hour and about  percent will not contain the true population mean number of tics per hour.

* Can you please write clear for me so I can see how these are worked out. Thank you so much.
