You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Normal Population Distribution: µ = 25 and σ = 4
Sample: n = 100
at a 99% confidence Level ( z ~ 2.576 )
one would expect the following for the mean of the sampling distribution:
25 ± +2.576%2A4%2Fsqrt%28100%29 = 1 rounded

Fall Between:
CI(24, 26)
Other than that...
D is your answer
