42800 1831840000
54300 2948490000
68200 4651240000
sum=499400 sum=26889520000

sample size (n) = 10

[ for these values you can directly use any software or excel or your calculator ..i am just showing all calculations for your clarification]

degrees of freedom = (n-1) = (10-1) = 9

t critical value for alpha=0.05,df = 9, both tailed test be:-

[ using t distribution table ]

the  95% confidence interval for the average yearly income of individuals in this city is :-

* as nothing is mentioned i have rounded off the final answer to nearest whole number .

interpretation:-

we are 95% confident that the average yearly income of individuals in this city will be between 39412 and 60468.
