QUES: the yield of a chemical process is bieng studied. the past 5 days of plant operation have resulted in :91.6, 88.75, 90.08, 89.95, 91.3. Find a 95% two-sided confiendce interval. Thanks folks

I don't know the answer.

But, you need to show some of your effort before anyone else going to help you.
 
i tried using the eqautaion "Confiendnce interval on the mean, varaiance known" but i am not sure how to get the variance. thanks
 
Let \bar{x} be the sample mean, what is \bar{x}?
What is n, the sample size?
What is s, the sample standard deviation?
What distribution should you use(based on n)? Then find the 95% confidence interval.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
