Hello

I'm stuck on questoin D. Could you please explain the correct answer. thank you 

 

a. A sample of 355 observations taken from a population produced a sample mean equal to 92.15 and a standard deviation equal to
12.15. Make a 95% confidence interval for u.
Round your answers to two decimal places.
90.89
93.41
b. Another sample of 355 observations taken from the same population produced a sample mean equal to 91.40 and a standard
deviation equal to 14.05. Make a 95% confidence interval for u.
Round your answers to two decimal places.
89.94
92.86
C. A third sample of 355 observations taken from the same population produced a sample mean equal to 89.42 and a standard
deviation equal to 13.15. Make a 95% confidence interval for u.
Round your answers to two decimal places.
88.05
90.79
