Question

"Even before the record gas prices during the summer of 2008, an article written by Will Lester of the Associated Press reported on a poll in which 80% of those surveyed say that Americans who currently own a SUV (sport utility vehicle) should switch to a more fuel-efficient vehicle to ease America’s dependency on foreign oil. This study was conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. As a follow-up to this report, a consumer group conducted a study of SUV owners to estimate the mean mileage for their vehicles. A simple random sample of 91 SUV owners was selected, and the owners were asked to report their highway mileage. The following results were summarized from the sample data:
x = 18.2 mpg s = 6.3 mpg
Based on these sample data, compute and interpret a 90% confidence interval estimate for the mean highway mileage for SUVs."
