ANSWER:Solution 4 CRE Step1: From the above given problem we have the ages of randomly selected patients in intensive care units 38,64,35,67,42,29,68,62,74,58. Step2: Our aim is to construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean age of the population of ICU patients.and whether the confidence interval limits contain
