3. A sample of 36 sheets of metal from a large normal population has a mean thickness of 30 mm. We know from previous quality control testing that the population standard deviation is 3.3 mm. Develop a 95% confidence interval for the true mean for the population.
4. A random sample of 16 people has a mean age = 40 years old and a sample standard deviation of 5 years. Form an 80% confidence interval for the mean.
