Answer:

Using the t-distribution, the 99% confidence interval for the true average number of alcoholic drinks all UF female students (over 21) have in a one week period is (3.25, 4.85).

We have the standard deviation for the sample, thus, the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

First, we find the number of degrees of freedom, which is the sample size subtracted by 1, thus:

Then, using a calculator, with  and 169 df, we have that the two-tailed critical value is .

The margin of error is:

In this problem, , then:

The confidence interval is:

In this problem, , then:

The confidence interval is (3.25, 4.85).
