Parking II Suppose that, for budget planning purposes, the city in Exercise 24 needs a better estimate of the mean daily income from parking fees.
a) Someone suggests that the city use its data to create a 95% confidence interval instead of the 90% interval first created. How would this interval be better for the city? (You need not actually create the new interval.)
b) How would the 95% interval be worse for the planners?
c) How could they achieve an interval estimate that would better serve their planning needs?
d) How many days’ worth of data should they collect to have 95% confidence of estimating the true mean to within $3?
