QuestionEmilio took a random sample of n=12n=12 giant Pacific octopi and tracked them to calculate their mean lifespan. Their lifespans were roughly symmetric with a mean of xˉ=4\bar{x}=4 years and a standard deviation of sx=0.5s_{x}=0.5 years. He wants to use this data to construct a tt interval for the mean lifespan o! this type of octopus with 90%90 \% confidence.
What critical value tt^{*} should Emilio use?
