"You measure 34 dogs' weights, and find they have a mean weight of 67 ounces. Assume the population standard deviation is 13.5 ounces. Based on this, construct a 95% confidence interval for the true population mean dog weight."

The 95% confidence interval for the true population mean dog weight is between 62.46 ounces and 71.54 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of .

So it is z with a pvalue of , so

Now, find M as such

In which is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 67 - 4.54 = 62.46 ounches.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 67 + 4.54 = 71.54 ounces.

The 95% confidence interval for the true population mean dog weight is between 62.46 ounces and 71.54 ounces.
