Answer:

The 95% Confidence Interval = (9.55, 10.35)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval formula

=Mean ± z × standard deviation/√n

Step 1

We find the mean

Mean

10.2 oz + 10.5 oz + 9.3 oz + 9.8 oz + 10.0 oz/5

Mean = 49.8/5

Means = 9.96 0z

the standard deviation to be 0.45 oz. the z score for 95% confidence interval = 1.96

n = 5 samples

Hence, Confidence Interval =

9.96 ± 1.96 × 0.45/√5

9.96 ± 1.96 × 0.201246118

9.96 ± 0.3944423912

Confidence Interval =

9.96 - 0.3944423912

= 9.5655576088

≈ 9.55

9.96 + 0.3944423912

= 10.354442391

≈ 10.35

Therefore, the 95% Confidence Interval = (9.55, 10.35)
