By now, we’ve played with random data quite a few times. We’re going to do so again but, this time, we’re not going to import quite so much data - only 12 rows. I can do this like so:

df = read.csv('https://www.marksmath.org/cgi-bin/random_data.csv?username=mark&length=12')
dim(d)

# Out: 12 10

That output indicates that I’ve got only twelve rows of data.

Your assignment: Perform a t.test on the column of heights and report your confidence interval. As always, your code should be typeset as code and your answer should be typeset as prose.

The t-test of my data looks like this:
One Sample t-test

data:  df$height
t = 62.604, df = 11, p-value = 2.139e-15
alternative hypothesis: true mean is not equal to 0
99 percent confidence interval:
63.87329 70.54171
sample estimates:
mean of x 
67.2075 

*** My Confidence Intervals at a 99% level are: approximately: 63.87 and 70.54

The t-test looks like this:

One Sample t-test

data:  df$height
t = 50.229, df = 11, p-value = 2.393e-14
alternative hypothesis: true mean is not equal to 0
95 percent confidence interval:
64.26174 70.15160
sample estimates: mean of x 
67.20667 

This means my confidence interval would be 64.26174, and 70.15160.
