A study of 60 bolts of carpet showed that their average length was 150 yards. The standard deviation of the population is 10 yards. Which of the following is the 99% confidence interval for the mean length per bolt of carpet?
--------------------------------
x-bar = 150
ME = 2.5758*10/sqrt(60) = 3.3254
---------------------------------------
99% CI: 150-3.3254 < u < 150+3.3254
