Connecticut families were asked how much they spent weekly on groceries. Using the following data, construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the population mean amount spent on groceries (in dollars) by Connecticut families. Assume the data come from a normal distribution 210 23 350 112 27 175 275 50 95 450

The 95% confidence interval for the population mean amount spent on groceries by Connecticut families is ($73.20, $280.21).

Step-by-step explanation:

The data for the amount of money spent weekly on groceries is as follows:

S = {210, 23, 350, 112, 27, 175, 275, 50, 95, 450}

n = 10

Compute the sample mean and sample standard deviation:

It is assumed that the data come from a normal distribution.

Since the population standard deviation is not known, use a t confidence interval.

The critical value of t for 95% confidence level and degrees of freedom = n - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9 is:

*Use a t-table.

Compute the 95% confidence interval for the population mean amount spent on groceries by Connecticut families as follows:

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the population mean amount spent on groceries by Connecticut families is ($73.20, $280.21).
