In: Statistics and Probability
The high temperatures (in degrees Fahrenheit) of a random sample of 8 small towns are:
| 97.2 |
| 99.9 |
| 98 |
| 96.3 |
| 96.6 |
| 96.4 |
| 98.5 |
| 98.1 |
Assume high temperatures are normally distributed. Based on this
data, find the 98% confidence interval of the mean high temperature
of towns. Enter your answer as an open-interval
(i.e., parentheses) accurate to two decimal places
(because the sample data are reported accurate to one decimal
place).
98% C.I. = _____
Answer should be obtained without any preliminary rounding.
However, the critical value may be rounded to 3 decimal
places
