a) Create a 95% confidence interval if you sample 25 bottles and get a sample average of 15.2oz. a) Interpret this confidence interval as you would report it to the manager. b) How large of a random sample is necessary so that your estimation of a mean bottle volume is within 2oz. (use 95% confidence) c) What if a manager wants to insure accuracy within 0.5 ounces. How large would your sample size need to be then. (use 95% confidence)

I am 95% confident the average body temperature of an American is between 96.9 and 99.3 degrees. 95% of Americans have a body temperature between 96.9 and 99.3 degrees The average body temperature of an American is between 96.9 and 99.3 degrees. 95% of samples have an average between 96.9 and 99.3 95% of confidence intervals from the samples I take will contain the true average American body temperature. In trying to predict average body temperature of Americans, I got a 95% confidence interval of… ( 96.9 99.3)
