43 oz. A certain baker has figured out that she can stay out of trouble
with her manager if each donut weighs about 3.6 oz. To test her
donut-making process, she randomly selects thirty-one donuts after
baking and weighs them. The average of the sample is 3.504 oz with s =
0.109 oz. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true population
mean of donut weights, and then explain whether or not she will be in
trouble.
2. Scores for men (nationwide) on the verbal portion of the SAT test

average of 535 points and a standard deviation of 90 points. Using a
significance level of 0.05, test the claim that the review course
students have a mean score greater than or equal to the normal
population. (use the 5-step method).
