64. Vitamin C content Several years ago, the U.S. Agency for International Development provided metric tons of corn-soy blend (CSB) for
emergency relief in countries throughout the world. CSB is a highly nutritious, low-cost fortified food. As part of a study to evaluate appropriate vitamin C levels in this food, measurements were taken on samples of CSB produced in a factory. The following data are the amounts of vitamin C,
measured in milligrams per grams (mg/100 g) of blend, for a random sample of size from one production run:
Construct and interpret aconfidence interval for the mean amount of vitamin C M in the CSB from this production run.
