Costs are rising for all kinds of medical care. The mean monthly rent at assisted living facilities was reported to have increased 17% over the last five years to $3486. Assume this cost estimate is based on a sample of 120 facilities and from past studies, it can be assumed that the sample standard deviation is $650. Develop a 90% confidence interval estimate of the population mean monthly rent.
