1-Karen wants to advertise how many chocolate chips are in each Big Chip cookie at her bakery. She randomly selects a sample of 55 cookies and finds that the number of chocolate chips per cookie in the sample has a mean of 9.4 and a standard deviation of 1.1. What is the 95% confidence interval for the number of chocolate chips per cookie for Big Chip cookies? Enter your answers accurate to one decimal place (because the sample statistics are reported accurate to one decimal place).

The effectiveness of a blood-pressure drug is being
investigated. An experimenter finds that, on average, the reduction
in systolic blood pressure is 56.8 for a sample of size 855 and
standard deviation 13.9.
Estimate how much the drug will lower a typical patient's systolic
blood pressure (using a 80% confidence level).
Enter your answer accurate to one decimal place (because the sample
statistics are reported accurate to one decimal place).
