Adult wild mountain lions (18 months or older) captured and released for the first time in the San Andres Mountains gave the following weights (pounds):

68 104 128 122 60 64

(a) Use a calculator with mean and sample standard deviation keys to verify that x 5 91.0 pounds and s < 30.7 pounds.

(b) Find a 75% confidence interval for the population average weight m of all adult mountain lions in the specified region.
