TopicHypothesis test of a normal distribution

6 The amount of caffeine in a randomly selected cup of coffee dispensed by a machine has a normal distribution. The amount of caffeine in each of a random sample of 25 cups was measured. The sample mean was 110.4 mg and the unbiased estimate of the population variance was \(50.42 \mathrm { mg } ^ { 2 }\). Calculate a 90\% confidence interval for the mean amount of caffeine dispensed.
