Answer

Lower Bound = 31.90 Upper Bound = 44.6

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 = 38.25 and s = 10 Confidence = 95% α = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05, α/2 = 0.025, tα/2=2.201 $E=2.201 \times \frac{10}{\sqrt 12} = 6.354$ Lower Bound = x̅ - E = 38.25 - 6.3547 = 31.90 Upper Bound = x̅ + E = 38.25 + 6.3547 = 44.6
