Dr. Mack Lemore, an expert in consumer behavior, wants to
estimate the average amount of money that people spend in thrift
shops. He takes a small sample of 8 individuals and asks them to
report how much money they had in their pockets the last time they
went shopping at a thrift store. Here are the data:
26.98, 18.96, 16.76, 10.65,
15.14, 33.67, 13.98,
10.06.
Find the lower bound of a 98%
confidence interval for the true mean amount of money individuals
carry with them to thrift stores, to two decimal places.
Take all calculations toward the final answer to three
decimal places.
