sample mean is X = 40 and the standard error of the mean is σX = 2.4.
99% confidence interval for a population mean.
ME = 2.576(2.4) = 6.2
CI = 40 - ME < u < 40 + ME
CI = 40 - 6.2 < u < 40 + 6.2
CI: (33.8, 46.2)
Note: As sample mean is a whole number, may wish to round CI to whole numbers:
CI( 34, 46)
