Solution

a) The individual object in the study was a randomly selected high school basketball player.

b) The variable information recorded for each object in the study was the height.

c) The statistical interpretation of the confidence interval in the context of this problem is: the height of high school basketball players is between 13 and 23 inches.

d) The symbol and value of the point estimate for 𝜇 is 𝑥̄ = 18 inches.

e) The margin of error for the given interval is 5 inches.
