The survey found that on average these firms introduced 5.68 products with a standard deviation of 8.70. Compute a 98% confidence interval for the new products introduced last year.
----------------------------------
sample mean = 5.68
E = 2.326 = 2.023
------------
90% CI: 5.68-2.023 <= u <= 5.68+2.023
