Judah Meza · Answer 1

(20.532, 21.468)

Step-by-step explanation:

Enter data into L₁

CL = 0.95

df = 3

Distribution: xbar ~ t₃

Calculator commands (for TI only) : [Stat],[TESTS],[TInterval],[Data], (List: L₁), (Freq:1), (C-Level:0.95),[Calculate]

Confidence interval (20.532,21.468)

We can conclude that the true population mean for bags of potatoes labeled 20.0 pounds is between (20.532,21,468) with a 95% confidence level.
