Finds the confidence interval of a population mean,

µ.

Example

The average weight of a newly developed product is known to be

52.4 g and standard deviation (

σ) is 4.5. Given the average

weight of 20 units is 53.4 g (x), find the confidence interval of the

data where the level of confidence (C-level) is 0.95.
