points

4. A group of consumers conducted a research entitled, “Expenditures of Households in Class C

Municipalities”. The group asked 360 randomly selected households and found out that the average grocery
expenses per week is Php 3,755.00 with a standard deviation Php 1,112.00. Assuming a normal distribution.
          a. Construct a 99% CI for the average grocery expenses per week of all households. 5 point
