Find the 90% confidence interval 

**Confidence Interval Calculation Problem**

Assume that a sample is used to estimate a population mean \( \mu \). Find the 90% confidence interval for a sample of size 324 with a mean of 50.8 and a standard deviation of 6.2. Enter your answer as a tri-linear inequality accurate to one decimal place (because the sample statistics are reported accurate to one decimal place).

\[ \_\_\_\_ < \mu < \_\_\_\_ \]

**Instructions:**

The answer should be obtained without any preliminary rounding. However, the critical value may be rounded to 3 decimal places.

Expert Solution
Step 1

From the provided information,

Sample size (n) = 324

Sample mean (x̅) = 50.8

Sample standard deviation (s) = 6.2

Confidence level = 90%

Level of significance (α) = 1 – 0.90 = 0.10
