You are interested in knowing the mean # of pages per book in your entire collection of hundreds of books. You randomly sample 40 books from your collection. The sample mean # of pages per book is 300, and the sample standard deviation is 50. Answer the following questions.
(A) (4 pts) What is your estimate?
(B) (6 pts) What is the approximate standard error of your estimator?
(C) (4 pts) What is the degrees of freedom?
(D) (2 pts) Why do you need to know the degrees of freedom?
(E) (10 pts) Construct a 99% confidence interval for your parameter of interest. The value of the t-multiple is 2.7079.
(F) (4 pts) Interpret the confidence interval you estimated in Part (E).
