answer the 4th question

A purple yam manufacturer claims that their containers contain 200 grams of yam. A random sample of 35
such containers revealed a mean content of 196 grams. From past data of the manufacturer, the standard
deviation of purple yam content is assumed to be at 15 grams.
What is the tabular value, at 95% confidence level? 1.96
What is the margin of error, at 95% confidence level? 4.9694

What is a 95% confidence interval estimate of the true mean purple yam content of the manufactured
containers? 191.03 < M <200.97
Is there evidence to support the claim of the manufacturer? [Select]
[Select]
How large a sample should be taken to be 95% confident th
content of the containers will differ by no more than 4 grams
No, because 200 is within the interval estimate
No, because 200 is not within the interval estimate
Yes, because 200 is not within the interval estimate
Yes, because 200 is within the interval estimate
