Nuwest Inc. is an investment service established in 1990 with the goal of becoming
the leading money market advisory service in the city. To provide better service for their
present clients and to attract new clients, they have developed a weekly newsletter. They
have been considering adding a new feature to the newsletter that will report the results
of a weekly telephone survey of fund managers. To investigate the feasibility of offering
this service, and to determine what type of information to include in the newsletter,
Nuwest's research office initiated a study and selected a simple random sample of 45
money market funds. The data set, consisting of Fund Assets (millions $), 7-day yields
(%), and 30-day yields (%), is given in Excel format as Nuwest Investment. Before
calling the money market fund managers to obtain additional data, the researchers
decided to do some preliminary analysis of the data already collected.

interpretation of each interval estimate.

type of information in preparing the weekly newsletter.
