Using that information, construct the following:
- A 90% confidence interval for the mean number of red candies.
- A 95% confidence interval for the mean number of blue candies.
- A 99% confidence interval for the variance of orange candies
- A 90% confidence interval for the standard deviation of the total number of candies.
Hint: The Excel functions confidence.norm() and confidence.T() can be used to find the margin of error E quite easily. Also, you might want to use the following calculators in Statcrunch:
