Suppose that pH measurements of rainfall ondifferent days in a Canadian forest follow a Normal distributionwith standard deviationσ= 0.5. A sample of n days finds that themean pH is x= 4.8.


Give a 80 % confidence interval for the mean pH μ when n = 5,n = 15, and n = 40.

n= 5___to___
n = 15___ to___
n = 40 ___to ___
