Expert Solution

We have given that,              
              
Sample mean =17.6      
Sample standard deviation =4.7  
Sample size =51      
Level of significance=1-0.95=0.05      
Degree of freedom =50      
              
t critical value is (by using t table)=   2.01      
              
Confidence interval formula is   


=(16.28,18.92)          
              
              
              
Lower confidence limit=   16.28      
              
Upper confidence limit=   18.92
