document.write( "Question 1170481: The treasurer of a municipality claims that the average net worth of families living in this municipality is P590,000. A random sample of 50 families selected from this area produced a mean net worth of P720,000 with a standard deviation of P65,000. Using 1% significance level, can we conclude that the claim is true? Also, find the 99% confidence interval of the true mean.\r
