The quality control manager at a pharmaceutical manufacturing factory needs to estimate the mean life of a large shipment of a raw material. The standard deviation is 100 hours. A random sample of 64 bags indicated a sample mean life of 350 hours.    Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the population mean life of the raw material in this shipment.  Do you think that the manufacturer has the right to state that the raw material lasts an average of 400 hours? Explain.
