If you have a standard deviation of 86 pounds, a random sample of 90 and a mean breaking strength of 1850 pounds, find a 90% confidence interval for the true mean .
-----------------
The sample mean, x-bar, = 1850
---------------
Comment: I'm using z=1.645 as the critical value for 90%
You might want to use a t-value if you have one.
---------------
Margin of error = E=1.645 = 14.9122
---------
90% CI: (1850-14.9122 < u < 1850+14.9122)
