Question 2:

a) The sample standard deviation (error) of the sample mean, s / square root of n , = ________________ .

b) The 95% confidence interval for the population mean of X is : _____________ to ______________

c) How many autos should be used in a random sample if we would like the population mean miles driven until transmission failure to be estimated with a margin of error of 3000 miles at the 99% confidence level? (Use the sample standard deviation as the "planning" value for the population standard deviation.)
