Solution

To find a 95% confidence interval for the mean temperature, we first need to find the standard error. The standard error (SE) is calculated by dividing the standard deviation (SD) by the square root of the sample size (n).

In this case, SD = 10 F and n = 16. So, SE = 10 / sqrt(16) = 10 / 4 = 2.5 F.

Next, we need to find the critical value (z*) for a 95% confidence interval. For a 95% confidence interval, the critical value is approximately 1.96.

The margin of error (ME) is then calculated by multiplying the standard error by the critical value. So, ME = SE * z* = 2.5 * 1.96 = 4.9 F.

Finally, we find the confidence interval by subtracting and adding the margin of error from/to the sample mean.

So, the 95% confidence interval for the mean temperature is (162 - 4.9, 162 + 4.9) = (157.1, 166.9) F.

However, this interval is not among the provided answer choices. Please check the question or the provided answer choices.
