Given a random sample of the amount of protein (in gram) in one bag of snack food: 0.95, 0.85, 0.92, 0.95, 0.93, 0.86, 1, 0.92, 0.85, 0.81, 0.78, 0.93, 0.93, 1.05, 0.93, 1.06, 1.06, 0.96, 0.81, 0.96 Here, it is assumed that the amount of protein in the snack is normal. How would I calculate a 98% two-sided confidence interval for the average amount of protein in one bag?

Question

Please help me in answering the following practice question:

Given a random sample of the amount of protein (in gram) in one bag of snack food:

0.95, 0.85, 0.92, 0.95, 0.93, 0.86, 1, 0.92, 0.85, 0.81, 0.78, 0.93, 0.93, 1.05, 0.93, 1.06, 1.06, 0.96, 0.81, 0.96

Here, it is assumed that the amount of protein in the snack is normal. How would I calculate a 98% two-sided confidence interval for the average amount of protein in one bag?

Thank you for your help in advance!
