Math 243: Lab 6

This lab asks students to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the population mean based on continuous data from Lab 2. Students are instructed to use descriptive statistics to calculate the margin of error and confidence interval. They then interpret the results by identifying what was estimated, how confident the interval makes them, and explaining what the confidence interval means.
