Answer

Lower Bound = 1612.46 Upper Bound = 2667.4

Work Step by Step

The normal probability plot and boxplot confirm that the data is normally distributed. Here we have: n = 7, df = n-1 = 6, x̅ = 2139.93 and s = 1114.41 Confidence = 90% α = 1 - 0.90 = 0.10, α/2 = 0.05, tα/2=1.771 $E=1.771 \times \frac{1114.41}{\sqrt 14} = 527.47$ Lower Bound = x̅ - E = 2139.93 - 527.47 = 1612.46 Upper Bound = x̅ + E = 2139.93 + 527.47 = 2667.4
