14. Use the given degree of confidence and Sample data to construct a confidence interval for the population mean. Assume that the population has a normal distribution.

n=10, x=8.7, s=3.3, 95% confidence

I know the answer is 6.34<μ<11.06 but I dont know how to get there

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Confidence interval = mean ± margin of error

    CI = μ ± ME

    The mean is μ = 8.7.

    Margin of error = critical value * standard error

    ME = CV * SE

    At 95% confidence and 9 degrees of freedom, CV = 2.262.

    SE = s / √n

    SE = 3.3 / √10

    SE = 1.04

    The margin of error is:

    ME = 2.262 * 1.04

    ME = 2.36

    CI = 8.7 ± 2.36

    CI = (6.34, 11.06)
