Solutions

Expert Solution

a) Z for 90% confidence interval = Z0.05 = 1.645

Confidence interval

                               

                               

                                = (31.883 < µ < 32.917)

b) Z for 95% confidence interval = Z0.025 = 1.96

Confidence interval

                               

                               

                                = (31.784 < µ < 33.016)

c) Z for 99% confidence interval = Z0.005 = 2.576

Confidence interval

                               

                               

                                = (31.591 < µ < 33.209)
