**Constructing a Confidence Interval**Assume that we want to construct a confidence interval. Do one of the following, as appropriate: (a) find the critical value $ t_{\alpha/2} $, (b) find the critical value $ Z_{\alpha/2} $, or (c) state that neither the normal distribution nor the t distribution applies.The confidence level is 95%, $ \sigma $ is not known, and the histogram of 62 player salaries (in thousands of dollars) of football players on a team is as shown.**Graph Explanation:**The histogram represents the distribution of 62 player salaries in thousands of dollars. The x-axis shows the salary in thousands, ranging from 0 to 20,000 dollars. The y-axis indicates the frequency of players within each salary range. The histogram shows a higher frequency of players in the lower salary ranges, with fewer players in the higher salary ranges.**Graph Data:**- Highest frequency is for the salary range near 0 to 2000 ($0 to $2000k).- There is a decreasing frequency as the salary range increases.**Question:**Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.**Options:**- $ \circ $ A. $ t_{\alpha / 2} = \_\_\_\_ $ *(Round to two decimal places as needed.)*- $ \circ $ B. $ Z_{\alpha / 2} = \_\_\_\_ $ *(Round to two decimal places as needed.)*- $ \circ $ C. Neither the normal distribution nor the t distribution applies.*(Please select the correct option and fill in the necessary value if applicable.)*

Assume that we want to construct a confidence interval. Do one of the following, as appropriate: (a) find the critical value ta/2. (b) find the critical value z/2, or (c) state that neither the normal distribution nor the t distribution applies. The confidence level is 95%, o is not known, and the histogram of 62 player salaries (in thousands of dollars) of football players on a team is as shown.

Echinacea is widely used as an herbal remedy for the common cold, but does it work? In a double-blind experiment, healthy volunteers agreed to be exposed to common-cold-causing rhinovirus type 39 and have their symptoms monitored. The volunteers were randomly assigned to take either a placebo or an echinacea supplement daily for 5 days following viral exposure. Among the 103 subjects taking a placebo, 88 developed a cold, whereas 44 of the 48 subjects taking echinacea 1 developed a cold.
