The mean weight was 2 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.12 ounces. The population standard deviation is known to be 0.1 ounce.a. Define the Random Variable X, in words.b. Which distribution should you use for this problem? Explain your choice.c. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population average weight of the candies.d. State the confidence interval in words.e. Calculate the error bound (EBM).f. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the population average weight of the candies.g. State the confidence interval in words.h. Calculate the error bound (EBM).g. In complete sentences, explain why the confidence interval in (f) is larger than the confidence interval in (c).
