Answer:
{13.7756,18.2244}
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the sample size, the margin of error can be calculated with the formula [tex]M=Z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex] where Z is the critical value for the desired confidence level, σ is the population standard deviation, and n is the sample size. Therefore, our margin of error for a 90% confidence level is:
[tex]M=Z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=1.645*(\frac{8}{\sqrt{35}})=2.2244[/tex]
The formula for a confidence interval is [tex]CI=\bar{x}+M[/tex] where x-bar is the sample mean. Therefore, the 90% confidence interval for the mean amount of sushi pieces a person can eat is:
[tex]CI=\bar{x}\pm[M]=16\pm2.2244={13.7756,18.2244}[/tex]
Therefore, we are 90% confident that the true mean amount of sushi pieces a person can eat is contained within the interval {13.7756,18.2244}
