a. Use the t distribution to construct a 95% confidence interval for  = the average numbers of defects fro this model.
b. Use the z distribution to construct a 95% confidence interval for  = the average number of defects for this model.
c. Given that the population standard deviation is not known, which of these two confidence intervals should be used as the interval estimate for ?
