Did I calculate this correctly? Thank you.

### Confidence Intervals for Heartbeat Rates

#### Problem Statement:
We wish to estimate the average number of heartbeats per minute for a certain population. The average number of heartbeats per minute for a sample of 49 subjects was found to be 90. Assume that these 49 patients constitute a random sample, and that the population is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 10.

#### Task:
Find the 90%, 95%, and 99% confidence intervals for the mean number of heartbeats per minute for a certain population.

#### Data Provided:
- Sample size (\( n \)) = 49
- Standard deviation (\( \sigma \)) = 10
- Sample mean (\( \bar{X} \)) = 90
- Critical values for Z at different confidence levels:
  - \( Z_{c \, 90\%} = 1.645 \)
  - \( Z_{c \, 95\%} = 1.96 \)
  - \( Z_{c \, 99\%} = 2.575 \)

#### Formulas:
The formula to calculate the confidence interval is given by:
\[ \bar{X} \pm Z_{c} \left( \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} \right) \]

#### Calculations:
1. **90% Confidence Interval:**
   \[
   90 \pm 1.645 \left( \frac{10}{\sqrt{49}} \right)
   \]
   Simplified:
   \[
   90 \pm 1.645 \left( \frac{10}{7} \right)
   \]
   \[
   90 \pm 1.645 \times 1.4286 \approx 90 \pm 2.35
   \]
   **90% Confidence Interval:** \( (87.65, 92.35) \)

2. **95% Confidence Interval:**
   \[
   90 \pm 1.96 \left( \frac{10}{\sqrt{49}} \right)
   \]
   Simplified:
   \[
   90 \pm 1.96 \left( \frac{10}{7} \right)
   \]
   \[
   90 \pm 1.96 \times 1.4286 \approx 90 \pm 2.8
