Question

A simple random sample of size n is drawn from a population that is normally distributed. The sample​ mean, x overbar​, is found to be 110​, and the sample standard​ deviation, s, is found to be 10.

​(a) Construct an 80​% confidence interval about mu if the sample​ size, n, is 29.

​(b) Construct an 80​% confidence interval about mu if the sample​ size, n, is 21.

​(c) Construct a 70​% confidence interval about mu if the sample​ size, n, is 29. ​

(d) Could we have computed the confidence intervals in parts​ (a)-(c) if the population had not been normally​ distributed?
