In a random sample of 64 students at Bud Light University, the mean length oftime spent on classes (including attendance) each week was = 17.8 hours. Assumethat the standard deviation σ of times spent on classes for all students at B.L.U.is 5.6 hours.a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the average time spent on classes perweek by students at this college, based on the above sample. (10)
_________________________________________b) Based on your confidence interval in a), is it reasonable to conclude that theaverage weekly time spent on classes by students at Bud Light U. is over 16.5 hours?Explain. (3)c) A second, independent sample of 100 students at Bud Light U. was taken. Based onthis sample, a 99% confidence interval for the average weekly time spent on classesby students is from 18.05 hours to 21.93 hours (18.05 < μ=""><>Which confidence interval, in your judgment, provides the better estimate ofthe population mean: the result of a) or this interval? Explain your choice.
