Question

1. Weights of Pronghorn The Missouri Game and Fish, randomly tagged Pronghorn of Missouri, and took the weights of the tagged Pronghorns in pounds:

159      197      203      206      241      278      285      308      215      215      160      190      198      166

1. Multiple Choice: What information do you need in order to construct a 95% confidence interval with the above prompt information?
   1. x, s, α
   2. x, s, σ,
   3. x, s,n, α
   4. x, n, σ

b) Based on the 95% confidence interval (188.9,242.7), can we safely conclude the population mean weight is greater than 196.2? Why?

c) Now, suppose σ is known to be 29 pounds, construct the 95% CI.

d) With σ known, now does it seem possible that the population mean weight is greater than 196.2? Use the results from part C and explain why
