The high temperatures (in degrees Fahrenheit) of a random sample of 7 small towns are: 96.6 99.1 98.8 98.7 97.2 98.4 97.7 Assume high temperatures are normally distributed. Based on this data, find the 98% confidence interval of the mean high temperature of towns.

Question
The high temperatures (in degrees Fahrenheit) of a random sample of 7 small towns
are:
96.6
99.1
98.8
98.7
97.2
98.4
97.7
Assume high temperatures are normally distributed. Based on this data, find the 98%
confidence interval of the mean high temperature of towns. Enter your answer as an
open-interval (i.e., parentheses) accurate to two decimal places (because the sample
data are reported accurate to one decimal place).
98% C.I. =
Answer should be obtained without any preliminary rounding. However, the critical
value may be rounded to 3 decimal places.
