TypeConfidence intervals for population mean

1 A random sample of 80 values of a variable \(X\) is taken and these values are summarised below. $$n = 80 \quad \Sigma x = 150.2 \quad \Sigma x ^ { 2 } = 820.24$$ Calculate unbiased estimates of the population mean and variance of \(X\) and hence find a \(95 \%\) confidence interval for the population mean of \(X\).
