The blood pressure of a person changes throughout the day. Suppose the systolic blood pressure of a person is measured 16 times over several days and the standard deviation of these measurements for the person is known to be σ=7.9 mmHg. Let μ be the true average blood pressure for that person and let x¯=127 be the average of the 16 measurements.
(a) Find a two-sided 94% confidence interval for μ. One can be 94% confident that the true average blood pressure μ for that person is between ___ and ___.
(b) Find a lower-bound 94% confidence interval for μ. One can be 94% confident that the true average blood pressure μ for that person is at least ____.
(c) Find an upper-bound 94% confidence interval for μ. One can be 94% confident that the true average blood pressure μ for that person is at most ____.
