Hi,
A confidence interval estimate for the population mean is given to be (42.43, 51.02).
(A) Determine the maximum error of the estimate, E. (51.02-42.43)/2 = 4.295
(B) Determine the confidence level used for the given confidence interval.
standard deviation is 17.845 and the sample size is 47

C = 1.649 OR ~90% confidence level
