DIG Stats: Windspeed

1. What is the mean?
     11.03

2. What is the standard deviation?
     6.34

3. What is the 95% confidence interval?
     1.8

4. Would the confidence interval become wider or more narrow, if the confidence level was 90%?
     The confidence interval becomes narrower when the confidence level decreases from 95%-90%.

5. What is the primary reason the interval is the width that it is?
     Having a bigger range of numbers lets you be more confident that it will have the true mean.  A higher
     confidence interval will have a bigger width.
