Answer

Here we have n = 11, x̅ = 1.173, s = 0.461, df = 10 For a 90% confidence level, using Table C we have: t = 1.812 $s_{x̅} = \frac{0.461}{\sqrt 11} = 0.14$ Lower Bound = 1.173 - (1.812)(0.14) = 0.92 Upper Bound = 1.173 + (1.812)(0.14) = 1.42 We can use the interval for inference as the given data falls in this interval except 2.0.
