A researcher is interested in finding a 90% confidence interval for the mean number of times per day that college students text. The study included 143 students who averaged 40.8 texts per day. The standard deviation was 22.7 texts. Round answers to 3 decimal places where possible.
a. To compute the confidence interval use a ________ distribution.
b. With 90% confidence, the population mean a number of texts per day is between ______and __________ texts.
c. If many groups of 143 randomly selected members are studied, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group.
