where x = 72 , s = 5, n = 11 . However, the t-score t depends on the confidence level.

a) For 95% confidence level, t=2.228. So, a 95% confidence interval is

(x

* 2.2 2 8)

=(68.64, 75.36)
b) For 99% confidence level, t=3.169. So, a 99% confidence interval is

=(67.22, 76.78)

c) For 80% confidence level, t=1.372. So, a 80% confidence interval is
