A nutritiоnist wаnts tо estimаte the аverage daily caffeine intake (in mg) оf students at a university. She collects a sample of 12 students and obtains the following data: Caffeine intake (mg/day):95, 120, 88, 102, 110, 97, 85, 130, 115, 105, 100, 90 Assume that caffeine intake is normally distributed in the population. Part A: R Computation (10 pts) Use R to read in the data and calculate a 95% confidence interval for the population mean. Suppose you want a more precise estimate for the population mean (a confidence interval with a smaller length).Which confidence level would you choose? 99% confidence 90% confidence Part B: Analytics / Interpretation (3pts each) Answer the following short questions: Based on your 95% confidence interval, what is the range of plausible values for the population mean caffeine intake? If you want a more precise estimate (smaller interval), should you choose 90% or 99% confidence level? Explain why. Discuss how sample size affects the length of the confidence interval. Upload/Submit Instructions: Upload an .R file below. Provide short written responses to questions 1-3 of Part B below.
