State which type of parameter is to be estimated, and the correct method for the following. Do not solve. A simple random sample of size 23 has mean 3.61. The population standard deviation is 1.79. The population is approximately normally distributed. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean. 1. The parameter is the population (choose one) mean, proportion, standard deviation, variance 2. The correct method to find the confidence interval is the (choose one) z, t, chi-square method

1. Assume that you have recently been hired by the audit department of the Iowa State Tax Commission. The chairman of the audit department is interested in estimating the mean tax collected per transaction at a local home improvement center. The chairman asks that you conduct an audit for the home improvement center and develop an estimate for the mean tax collected per transaction by developing a 95% confidence interval estimate for the population mean. You define this normally distributed...
