The yield strength of 5 steel specimens was determined using the uniaxial tension test. The mean value of the yield strength is 29 ksi. If the sample standard deviation is 2 ksi, the 95% confidence interval for the yield strength of steel is:  A. (26.5ksi, 31.5ksi) B. (25.7ksi, 31.3ksi) C. (27ksi, 31ksi)
