1. Suppose that Jerry (a baker) wants to find a 95% Confidence Interval for the mean baking time for all of his jelly donuts. He takes a random sample of 40 jelly donuts over the course of several weeks. He found that the average baking time of the sample was 19.2 minutes with a standard deviation of 1.8 minutes. a. Find the 95% confidence Interval. b. Interpret the interval in context. c. Find the error bound of the interval.

Question
1. Suppose that Jerry (a baker) wants to find a 95% Confidence Interval for the mean
baking time for all of his jelly donuts. He takes a random sample of 40 jelly donuts over
the course of several weeks. He found that the average baking time of the sample was
19.2 minutes with a standard deviation of 1.8 minutes.
a. Find the 95% confidence Interval.
b. Interpret the interval in context.
c. Find the error bound of the interval.
d. Suppose Jose, another donut maker, states that his jelly donuts have a mean baking
time of 18 minutes. Is there evidence at the 95% confidence level, to support the
claim that the mean baking times for all Jerry's and Jose's jelly donuts are different?
Justify.
