Hi
The average years of employee experience at a company with 10,000 employees is
normally distributed, with a standard deviation of 12 years.
If a sample of 50 employees indicates a mean age of 38,
calculate 90 percent confidence intervals for the population mean.
ME = 1.645[38/sqrt(50)] = 8.8402
CI:

99 percent confidence intervals for the population mean.
ME =2.575[38/sqrt(50)] = 13.8381
CI:
