Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean body length of this species of lobster. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
____ mm to _____ mm
From sample data,
= 61.6 , S = 7.8202
95% Confidence Interval
X̅ ± t(α/2, n-1) S/√(n)
t(α/2, n-1) = t(0.05 /2, 10- 1 ) = 2.262
61.6 ± t(0.05/2, 10 -1) * 7.8202/√(10)
Lower Limit = 61.6 - t(0.05/2, 10 -1) 7.8202/√(10)
Lower Limit = 56.006
Upper Limit = 61.6 + t(0.05/2, 10 -1) 7.8202/√(10)
Upper Limit = 67.194
95% CI is from 56.006 to 67.194

The Thompson Tire Company did research in Alabama regarding the miles their commercial truck tires would travel before they no longer met the Federal Highway Department tread depth requirements. The results of their study are in the file “Thompson Data Spring 2019” and show the mileage in 1,000 miles. Calculate the mean, median and mode of the data. Develop a box plot. Are there any outliers? Do the amounts follow a symmetric distribution or are they skewed? Justify your answer....
