The critical value for a 90% confidence interval is z = 1.645 (you use a calculator or table to find this)
Given
xbar = 70
z = 1.645 (see above)
sigma = 5
n = 82
-------------------------------------------------------
Lower Bound
L = xbar - z*sigma/sqrt(n)
L = 70 - 1.645*5/sqrt(82)
L = 69.0917006980343
L = 69.09
-------------------------------------------------------
Upper Bound
U = xbar + z*sigma/sqrt(n)
U = 70 + 1.645*5/sqrt(82)
U = 70.9082993019657
U = 70.91
-------------------------------------------------------
The confidence interval (L,U) is (69.09, 70.91)
