Problem: Suppose that, for the American entire population, the weight gain in the 12 months following a cessation in smoking is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 6 pounds.

To estimate the mean weight gain, a random sample of 13 quitters was drawn; their recorded weights are listed here.

16 23 8 2 14 22 18 11 10 19 5 8 15

(a) To perform an estimation in this problem, should I use the t or the z table? Why?

(b) Determine the 90% confidence interval estimate of the mean 12-month weight gain for all quitters.
