Question
A random sample of 8 observations was drawn from a normal population. The sample mean and
sample standard deviation are X = 40 and s = 10.
a) Estimate the population mean with 95% confidence.
b) Repeat part (a) assuming that you know that the population standard deviation is = 10.
c) Explain why the interval estimate produced in part (b) is narrower than that in part (a).
