These instructions reflect a task our writers previously completed for another student. Should you require assistance with the same assignment, please submit your homework details to our writers’ platform. This will ensure you receive an original paper, you can submit as your own.

Initial Post Instructions:
Choose a data set of fuel prices from the attached Excel file.  
Find the mean and standard deviation for the data set.  Please do not try to do this by hand, but use the functions in Excel. 
Find the 95% Confidence Interval for your data.   
Sample initial post: 
First find the mean and standard deviation.  (Refer to video in week 2 discussion.)
Then type this in an excel cell =confidence.norm(0.05,stdev,samplesize) and hit enter. This is the E value.  (Note:  please use your standard deviation and sample size and not the words.)
Set up your confidence interval:  (mean-E, mean+E) 
It is important to go back and read follow up responses from your instructor.
Formula you used above for the confidence interval:
The formula is E= zsubc * sigma / sqrt n
Where the left hand endpoint is xbar – E and the right hand endpoint is xbar + E
