4. A town council is concerned that the mean price of renting two bedroom flats in the town has exceeded \(\pounds 650\) per month. A random sample of eight two bedroom flats gave the following results, \(\pounds x\), per month.
$$705 , \quad 640 , \quad 560 , \quad 680 , \quad 800 , \quad 620 , \quad 580 , \quad 760$$
[You may assume \(\sum x = 5345 \quad \sum x ^ { 2 } = 3621025\) ]
- Find a 90\% confidence interval for the mean price of renting a two bedroom flat.
- State an assumption that is required for the validity of your interval in part (a).
- Comment on whether or not the town council is justified in being concerned. Give a reason for your answer.
