An inspector is interested in finding a 90% confidence interval for the mean number of rodent hairs that are contained in 700 gram containers of peanut butter that are produced in the factory. Thenumber of hairsfound in eachthe 16 containers inspected is shown below.

7,5,6,7,8,2,11,0,4,9,10,7,3,1,14,8

Assume a normal distribution and round your answers to two decimal places.

A. To compute the confidence interval, use the [ Select ] ["", "T", "Normal"] distribution.

B. With 90% confidence the population mean number of rodent hairs per container for all container produced in the the factory [ Select ] ["4.96", "4.81", "4.72", "5.05"] and [ Select ] ["8.18", "8.29", "7.21", "8.03"] hairs.

C. If many groups of16 randomly selected peanut butter containers are inspected, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About [ Select ] ["10", "50", "5", "95", "90"] percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population mean number of rodent hairs per container and about [ Select ] ["5", "90", "95", "50", "10"] percent will not contain the true population mean number of rodent hairs per container.
