He selects a random sample of 49 trucks passing the weighing station and finds the mean weight is 15.8 tons. The population standard deviation is 3.8 tons. What is the 95 percent interval for the population mean?.......A. 14.7 and 16.9
B. 13.2 and 17.6
C. 10.0 and 20.0
D. 16.1 and 18.1

half-interval is z(0.975)*s/sqrt(n)
z=1.96
s=3.8
sqrt(49)=7
half-interval is 1.064
(14.7, 16.9)
