Question 11
A report by Capital Economics claims the average monthly mortgage payment in Chicago is $1,002. Assume that the standard deviation for monthly mortgage payments in Chicago is $168. A random sample of 55 homeowners in Chicago was selected and found to have an average monthly mortgage payment of $1,030.
Identify the lower bound of the symmetrical interval that includes 95% of the sample means if the true population mean is $1,002.
