Confidence interval and true mean

Reference no: EM1317104

A sample of 20 pages was taken without replacement from the 1,591-page phone directory Ameritech Pages Plus Yellow Pages. On each page, the mean area devoted to display ads was measured (a display ad is a large block of multicolored illustrations, maps, and text). The data (in square millimeters) are shown below:

0	260	356	403	536	0	268	369	428	536
268	396	469	536	162	338	403	536	536	130

(a) Construct a 95 percent confidence interval for the true mean.

(b) Why might normality be an issue here?

(d) If this is not a reasonable requirement, suggest one that is. (Data are from a project by MBA student Daniel R. Dalach.)
