Help A through E please 

A random sample of n measurements was selected from a population with unknown mean u and standard deviation o= 30 for each of the situations in parts a through d. Calculate a 99% confidence interval for u for each of these situations.
a.n= 50, x= 21
b. n= 150, x 112
C.n= 90, x= 15
d. n= 90, x= 5.17
e. Is the assumption that the underlying population of measurements is normally distributed necessary to ensure the validity of the confidence intervals in parts a through d? Explain.
