Solution; >from the given dntorma tHon n=16, - 50O 48, S=0.42 Here. the degree o freedom hevel of signiti cance, Two tailed Critical value, t = .13 95%. Contidence intenval is 0.42 7 50.48(2.1 31) 50.48 + 0.2238 50.48-0.2238,50.48+ 0.2238 SO.2562, 5D. 7038 => 95'1. Conbident that the weight of the we are Cans is Mom 50.2562 to 50 7038 .
