A random sample of 85 students finds that they, on average, they get 6.5 hours of sleep a night, with a sample standard deviation of 7 hours. Would you use the z-distribution or the t-distribution to construct a confidence interval? How do you know? Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean. How do you interpret this interval? Is it likely that students actually get 7 hours of sleep a night? How can you tell?

3) You are a researcher studying the lifespan of a certain species of bacteria. A preliminary sample of 40 bacteria reveals a sample mean of ¯x=74x¯=74 hours with a standard deviation of s=7s=7 hours. You would like to estimate the mean lifespan for this species of bacteria to within a margin of error of 0.75 hours at a 90% level of confidence. What sample size should you gather to achieve a 0.75 hour margin of error? Round your answer up...
