Please show calculation to problem. To estimate the average annual expenses of students on books and class materials a sample of size 36 is taken. The average is $ 850 and the standard diviation is $ 54.
A 99% confidence interval for the population mean is:
---------------
invT(0.005) = 2.576
standard error = 2.576 = 23.18
---
99% CI: 850-23.18 < u < 850+23.18
99% CI: 826.82 < u < 873.18
