64 |
Find a 75% confidence interval for the population average weight μ of all adult mountain lions in the specified region. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)
lower limit | lb |
upper limit | lb |
Solution
Since the sample size is < 30 we will use t -distribution to find a 75% confidence interval for the population average weight μ of all adult mountain lions in the specified region.
