A. In order to estimate the mean amount of damage sustained by vehicles when a deer is struck, an insurance
company examined the records of 50 such occurrences, and obtained a sample mean of $2,785 with sample
standard deviation $221. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean amount of damage in all such
accidents.

CONFIDENCE LEVEL IN DECIMALS. Round off your answer to the nearest hundredths (two decimal places).

A. To estimate the number of calories in a cup of diced chicken breast meat, the number of calories in a sample of
four separate cups of meat is measured. The sample mean is 211.8 calories with sample standard deviation 0.9
