The Federal Election Commission (FEC) collects information about campaign contributions and disbursements for candidates and political committees each election cycle. A political action committee (PAC) is a committee formed to raise money for candidates and campaigns. A Leadership PAC is a PAC formed by a federal politician (senator or representative) to raise money to help other candidates’ campaigns. The FEC has reported financial information for 556 Leadership PACs that were operating during the 2011-2012 election cycle. A random selection of 26 Leadership PACs shows a mean of $251,854.23 with a sample standard deviation of $521,130.41.

Use this information to construct a 96% confidence interval for the mean amount of money raised by all Leadership PACs during the 2011–2012 election cycle.

Can you show the work please, thank you!
