Question Suppose that the number of dollars spent per week on groceries are normally distributed with an unknown mean and standard deviation. A random sample of 18 grocery bills is taken and gives a sample mean of 103 dollars and a sample standard deviation of 10 dollars. The margin of error for a 98% confidence interval estimate for the population mean using the Student's t-distribution is 6.05.  Find a 98% confidence interval estimate for the population mean using the Student's t-distrib...
