AA C&C Unit 1 Test REVIEW - Descriptive & Inferential Statistics

A study examined a random sample of 60 residents and found the mean weight to be 145 pounds with a standard deviation of 32 pounds.

At the 95% confidence level, use the normal distribution/empirical rule to estimate the MARGIN OF ERROR for the mean.
