Q1) Lengths of alligators in certain population of alligators has a standard deviation of σ = 1.6.  This population is not normally distributed.  You choose a random sample of 64 alligators. Sample mean that you compute is:   x‾ = 15.82. Determine a 95% confidence interval for the population mean,  µ

Q2) You want to study proportion of individuals in Statville that are left-handed.  You choose   a random sample of 400 people and number of left=handed people in your sample is 48. Calculate sample proportion and then also calculate a 99% confidence interval for true population proportion, p.
