The weights at birth of five randomly chosen baby Orca whales were 425,454,380, 405, and 426 pounds. Assume the distribution of weights is normally distributed. Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean weight of all baby Orca whales and report the margin of error. Round to the nearest tenth of a pound. Use the fact that the sample mean and sample standard deviation are 7=418 and s = 27.49. Question 18 1 pts Arandom sample of 950 adult television...
