Scientists often use mice to study human disease and physiology. Parker et al. (2016) studied over a thousand newborn mice in order to better understand the genetic loci involved in many human diseases. As part of this study, the scientists snipped up to 5 mm from the end of each mouse's tail for the purpose of DNA collection. The scientists weighed each mouse immediately after snipping its tail. The provided data set lists the weights of the mice (in grams) after snipping.

Suppose the researchers wish to determine a range of plausible values for the weights of newborn mice with recently snipped tails. Use software to construct a 95% 1-confidence interval for the mean weight of newborn mice with snipped tails.
