Suppose we are interested in studying a population to estimate its mean. The population is normal and has a standard deviation of o=16. We have taken a random sample of size n=80 from the population. This is Sample 1 in the table below. (In the table, Sample 1 is written "S1", Sample 2 is written "S2", etc.) As shown in the table, the sample mean of Sample 1 is x = 59.3. Also shown are the lower and upper limits of the 75% confidence interval for the population mean using this sample, as well as the lower and upper limits of the 95% confidence interval. Suppose that the true mean of the population is =60, which is shown on the displays for the confidence intervals. Press the "Generate Samples" button to simulate taking 19 more random samples of size n=80 from this same population. (The 75% and 95% confidence intervals for all of the samples are shown in the table and graphed.) Then complete parts (a) through (c) below the table.
