The accompanying data represent the total travel tax (in dollars) for a 3-day business trip in 8 randomly selected cities. A normal probability plot suggests the data could come from a population that is normally distributed. A boxplot indicates there are no outliers. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. 67.29 78.33 67.18 84.29 82.56 86.81 101.78 98.02 (a) Determine a point estimate for the population mean travel tax. A point estimate for the population mean travel tax is $ (Round to two decimal places as needed.). (b) Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the mean tax paid for a three-day business trip. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice.
