The average cholesterol level in the general US population is 189 mg/dL. A researcher wants to see if the average cholesterol for men in the US is different from 189 mg/dL. She takes a sample of 81 American males and finds a sample mean of 194 mg/dL and a sample standard deviation of 10.4.
Create a 90% confidence interval for the true average
cholesterol level of the general US male population.
What is the 90% confidence interval?
What is the correct interpretation of the confidence interval?
Are the assumptions met?
Conduct a hypothesis test at the 0.10 significance level to test
