Multiple Choice

A wildlife biologist wants to determine the mean weight of adult red squirrels. She captures 10 Squirrels she believes to be representative of the species and weighs them, finding a mean of 12.32 Grams and standard deviation of 1.88gm.

• A) \(12.32 \pm 2.262 \left( \frac { 1.88 } { \sqrt { 10 } } \right)\)
• B) \(12.32 \pm 2.228 \left( \frac { 1.88 } { \sqrt { 9 } } \right)\)
• C) \(12.32 \pm 2.262 \left( \frac { 1.88 } { \sqrt { 9 } } \right)\)
• D) \(12.32 \pm 2.228 \left( \frac { 1.88 } { \sqrt { 10 } } \right)\)
