The table below contains the amount that a sample of nine customers spent for lunch ($) at a fast-food restaurant:
4.88 5.01 5.79 6.35 7.39 7.68 8.23 8.71 9.88
a. Compute the sample mean and sample standard deviation of the
amount spent for lunch.
b. Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate for the population mean amount spent for lunch ($) at the fast-food restaurant, assuming the population is normally distributed.
c. Interpret the interval constructed in (b).
