A simple random sample is drawn from a normally distributed population, and when making a statistical inference about the popula
tion mean, the margin of error is found to be 5.9 at a 95% level of confidence. If the mean of the sample is 18.7, what is the 95% confidence interval for the population mean?
<span>To find the confidence interval, add and subtract the margin of error from the mean.
With mean 18.7 and margin of error 5.9, you have 95% confidence the answer is between 12.8 and 24.6.</span>
