2. A random sample of 25 apples were take from a large apple tree and were weighted. The mean weight of an apple in the sample was found to be 8 oz. The weights of apples in the tree were known to be normally distributed with a standard deviation of 1.5 oz. Find:

a) The 90% confidence interval for the population mean.

b) The 95% confidence interval for the population mean.

3. A random sample of 16 workers in large factory had an average hourly rate of $10. The nsample standard deviation was $2. The hourly rates of workers in the factory is assumed to be normally distributed. Using Student t Distribution find:
