For a population with unknown mean and known standard deviation ,
\n" ); document.write( "a confidence interval for the population mean is: CI = x̄ ± \"z%2Asigma%2Fsqrt%28n%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "CI = = 60 ± \"z%2A10%2Fsqrt%2822%29\" 99% confidence level: z = 2.576
\n" ); document.write( "CI = = 60 ± \"2.576%2A10%2Fsqrt%2822%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "CI = = 60 ± 5.5
\n" ); document.write( "Or

\n" ); document.write( "a confidence interval for the population mean is: CI = x̄ ± \"t%2As%2Fsqrt%28n%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "CI = 60 ± \"t%2A10%2Fsqrt%2822%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "99% confidence level, Degree of Freedom(n-1) = 21: t = 2.831 (use Caculator 0r table)
\n" ); document.write( "CI = 60 ± \"2.831%2A10%2Fsqrt%2822%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "CI = 60 ± 6
