Bone loss by nursing mothers Breast-feeding mothers secrete calcium into

their milk. Some of the calcium may come from their bones, so mothers may lose bone mineral. Researchers measured the percent change in bone mineral content (BMC) of the spines of 47randomly selected mothers during three months of breast-feeding. The mean change in BMC was 鈭�3.587%and the standard deviation was 2.506%

a. Construct and interpret a 99%confidence interval to estimate the mean percent change in BMC in the population of breast-feeding mothers.

b. Based on your interval from part (a), do these data give convincing evidence that

nursing mothers lose bone mineral, on average? Explain your answer.

Prom totals Use your interval from Exercise 39 to construct and interpret a 90%

confidence interval for the total number of seniors planning to go to the prom.
