Step 1 :Given that the sample mean (\(\bar{x}\)) is 7.1, the sample standard deviation (s) is 2.2, and the sample size (n) is 41.
Step 2 :We are asked to find the 95% confidence interval for the number of chocolate chips per cookie. The z-score for a 95% confidence interval is approximately 1.96.
Step 3 :We can use the formula for a confidence interval, which is \(\bar{x} \pm z \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\).
Step 4 :Substituting the given values into the formula, we get \(7.1 \pm 1.96 \frac{2.2}{\sqrt{41}}\).
Step 5 :Calculating the above expression, we find that the 95% confidence interval is approximately [6.4, 7.8].
Step 6 :Final Answer: The $95 \%$ confidence interval for the number of chocolate chips per cookie for Big Chip cookies is \(\boxed{[6.4, 7.8]}\).
