a. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean number of shares traded per day in 2010. Interpret the confidence interval. b. A second random sample of 40 days in 2010 resulted in the data show next. Construct another 95% confidence interval for the population mean number of shares traded per day in 2010. Interpret the confidence interval.
