31.

  1. Point estimate for population mean = 4.893

  2. 95% confident that the mean ph is between 4.690 and 5.096

  3. 99% confident that mean ph is between 4.607 and 5.179

  4. margin of error increases as the confidence level increases

32.

  1. Point estimate for population mean = 83.35

  2. 95% confidence interval suggests that the travel tax will range between 73.046 and 93.65

  3. decrease the margin of error as the confidence interval becomes narrow thus, increases precision

  1. 95% confident mean repair cost for low-impact collision is between $1035.8 and $ 2477.2

  2. The confidence interval will possibly be narrower because there is les variability in data since, variability in terms of producer of the vehilce is removed.
