Question:

A study reports that recent college graduates from Connecticut face the highest average debt of $38,510 (forbes.com, September 18, 2019).

Assume that the population standard deviation is $5,000. 

a. Construct the 95% confidence interval for the mean debt of all undergraduates from Pennsylvania.

b. Use the 95% confidence interval to determine if the debt of Pennsylvania undergraduates differs from that of Connecticut undergraduates.
