In a simple random sample of 64 households, the sample mean number of personal computers was 1.17. Assume the population standard deviation is σ = 0.23. 19) Why can we say the sampling distribution of the sample mean number of personal computers is approximately normal? 20) Construct a 98% confidence interval for the mean number of personal computers. Interpret this interval. 21) The population standard deviation for the height of high school basketball players is three inches. If we want...
