Answer #1

Sample size = n = 14

Sample mean = = 30.2857

Standard deviation = s = 5.7570

We have to construct 99% confidence interval.

Formula is

Here E is a margin of error.

Degrees of freedom = n - 1 = 14 - 1 = 13

Level of significance = 0.01

tc = 3.012    ( Using t table)

So confidence interval is ( 30.2857 - 4.6347 , 30.2857 + 4.6347) = > ( 25.7 , 34.9)
