A toy maker claims his best product has an average lifespan of exactly 14 years. A skeptical quality control specialist asks for
evidence (data) that might be used to evaluate this claim. The quality control specialist was provided data collected from a random sample of 45 people who used the product. Using the data, an average product lifespan of 19 years and a standard deviation of 4 years was calculated. Select the 99%, confidence interval for the true mean lifespan of this product.
The answer is b because the lines outside -65 are symbols for absolute value. Absolute value means the distance away from 0, so b would be an appropriate choice.
