You are interested in finding a 90 confidence interval for the average number of days of class that college students miss each year The data below show the number of missed days for 13 randomly selected college students Round answers to 3 decimal places where possible 12 9 3 6 8 12 12 11 3 11 2 6 10 a To compute the confidence interval use a distribution b With 90 confidence the population mean number of days of class that college students miss is between and days c If many groups of 13 randomly selected non residential college students are surveyed then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group About 90 percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population mean number of missed class days and about 10 percent will not contain the true population mean number of missed class days
