Slide Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. The owner of small specialty store was interested in the amount customers spent on designs from a local artist. From a random sample of 20 customers, she found a mean of $375 with a standard deviation of $56. To construct a 95% confidence interval for the true mean amount spent, she would use a t value of A B C D
