Question

Civil engineers collect data from an area in Canada on the amount of tons of salt used to keep highways in good condition during a snow storm.
The amount of salt for n = 30 has
(# 1 at image)

What can be said with 95% confidence about the maximum error if (# 2 at image) is used as a point estimator of the true population mean of the amount of salt required for a snow storm?
