Question 5 0..333333333 points
Construct the requested confidence interval.
A meteorologist was interested in the average speed of a thunderstorm in his area. He sampled 13 thunderstorms
and found that the average speed at which they traveled across the area was 15 miles per hour with a sample
standard deviation of 1.7 miles per hour.
Assuming the speed of a thunderstorm is approximately normal, construct a 99% confidence interval for the
true average speed of a thunderstorm in his area.
