Answer choices are 118.87–121.13 107.12–132.88 125–135 115–125

\( \large CI = \bar{x} \pm z \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} \) \(\bar{x}\) is your mean which is 120 z is the z-value and for a 99% confidence interval, the value would be 2.58 http://www.ltcconline.net/greenl/courses/201/Estimation/smallConfLevelTable.htm and 's' is the standard deviation of 5 n is how many samples you have which is 130

AZ:

so can you calculate the 99% confidence interval now?
