Question

The mean diastolic blood pressure for a random sample of 50 people was 96 millimeters of mercury. If the standard deviation of individual blood pressure readings is known to be 8 millimeters of mercury, find a 95% confidence interval for the true mean diastolic blood pressure of all people. 

Carry the intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round the answers to one decimal place. 

(a)  What is the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval?
 
(b)  What is the upper limit of the 95% confidence interval?
