n 4351 Sample sdx 2354939 Sample meanx 1830124 Sample sdy

n = 4351 Sample sd(x) = 235.4939 Sample mean(x) = 183.0124 Sample sd(y) =0.9991448 Sample mean(y) = 4.710391 A. Compute the geometric mean and the geometric standard deviation Compute a 95% confidence interval for the mean Compute a 95% confidence interval for the mean of the logarithm Exponentiate the limits of the interval in part (C). This will give us a 95% confidence interval for the geometric mean. Comparing this interval with the interval in part would you say that the estimate of the geometric mean is more precise compared to the estimate of the mean? Discuss and explain.
