The contents, in milliliters (mL), of 16 similar bottles of Bignay Wine are as follows: 498, 490, 502, 500, 500, 492,
493, 501, 503, 489, 495, 504, 500, 500, 496 and 506. Assuming the contents is normally distributed, determine the

3. A random sample of 100 automobile owners shows that an automobile is driven on the average 23,500km per year, in
the state of Virginia, with a standard deviation of 3,900 kilometers.
a. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the average number of km. An automobile is driven annually in Virginia.
b. What can we assert with 99% confidence about the possible size of our error if we estimate the average number of
km driven by car owners in Virginia to be 23,500 km per year?
