A food safety guideline is that the mercury in fish should be below 1 part per million (ppm). Listed below are the amounts of mercury (ppm) found in tuna sushi samples at different stores in a major city. Construct a 98% confidence interval estimate of the mean amount of mercury in the population. 0.52 0.79 0.10 0.87 1.32 0.50 0.90 What is the confidence interval estimate of the population mean u?

Answer 1

From the question,

n=7

c=98% =0.98

First we calculate the mean

`=(5)/(7)`
`\approx0.7143`
