Solution

To construct an 80% confidence interval for the mean calorie count for all 12-ounce milkshakes sold at fast-food restaurants, we need some data first. We need the sample mean (x̄), the standard deviation (s), and the sample size (n).

Here are the steps:

  1. Calculate the sample mean (x̄) by adding all the sample data and dividing by the sample size (n).

  2. Calculate the standard deviation (s) of the sample.

  3. Find the z-score that corresponds to the desired confidence level (80%). For an 80% confidence interval, the z-score is 1.28.

  4. Calculate the standard error of the mean (SE) by dividing the standard deviation (s) by the square root of the sample size (n).

  5. Multiply the z-score by the standard error to get the margin of error (E).

  6. Subtract the margin of error from the sample mean to get the lower limit of the confidence interval and add the margin of error to the sample mean to get the upper limit of the confidence interval.

The formula for the confidence interval is:

x̄ ± E

where E = z * SE

Without the specific data, I can't provide the numerical values. But this is the general process to construct an 80% confidence interval for the mean.
