Suppose researchers are about to draw a sample of 1450 observations from a normally
distributed population, and use this data to create a confidence interval for the population mean
using the t procedure. They don't know much about statistics, and decide to use a t / 2 value of
0.62 to calculate the margin of error. (Since, curiously, that is their favourite number.) What is
the confidence level of this confidence interval?
