QUESTION 6
Assume that we can use the Normal distribution to calculate a 80% Confidence Interval for the plaque index score for all 30 individuals in the study.
Using R Commander and PlaqueIndexScore2.csv, provide the lower value of the 80% confidence interval for mean plaque index score for all individuals in the study. Calculate your answer to TWO decimal places: X.XX and no other extraneous text.
