The variable x is simply the product of 3 digits obtained from column ‘6’ from our random number table. a) For the sample of size 30, a histogram appears as shown below: b) The sample mean for the data collected is 87.7. c) The sample standard deviation for the data collected is 124.004. d) The standard error for the data collected is 22.639. e) The 95% confidence interval for the data is 87.7±44.37. 2. We will create a random sample of x-values of size 5. The variable x is simply the product of 3 digits obtained from row ‘K’ on our random number table. a) The integers in my sample were as follows: 0,285,175,0, and 432 b) The sample mean for the data collected is 177.4. c) The sample standard deviation for the data collected is 166.31, and the standard error for the data collected data is 74.3761. d) The 95% confidence interval for the data is 177.4±145.77 e) Yes, the confidence interval from this problem overlaps with the confidence interval from problem #1.
