To find the Confidence Interval (like for Number 4 on Part 4 of the Lab), I built a little template based on the formulas they give
Enter Your Mean, Standard Deviation, number of data points, and Con
Mean Std Dev n (# of data pts) Desired Conf.
78.4 6.205 40 92%
Results (the true mean amount would be between these two values)
Calculation Cells, Do Not Change These Values
8% 0.96 1.750686071 1.751 1.717900224
Lower Upper
76.68 80.12
So you would say that with 92% confidence,
you can say the true mean is between 76.68 and 80.12
