TopicHypothesis test of a normal distribution

1 A basketball club has a large number of players. The heights, \(x \mathrm {~m}\), of a random sample of 10 of these players are measured. A \(90 \%\) confidence interval for the population mean height, \(\mu \mathrm { m }\), of players in this club is calculated. It is assumed that heights are normally distributed. The confidence interval is \(1.78 \leqslant \mu \leqslant 2.02\). Find the values of \(\sum x\) and \(\sum x ^ { 2 }\) for this sample.
