    Answer:

    5.503484≤x≤9.116516

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The formula for calculating the CI is expressed as;

    CI = x±z*s/√n

    x is the mean= 7.31

    z is the 99% z-score = 2.58

    s is the standard deviation = 6.26

    n is the sample size = 80

    Substitute into the formula

    CI = 7.31± 2.58*6.26/√80

    CI = 7.31± 2.58*6.26/8.94

    CI = 7.31± (2.58*0.7002)

    CI = 7.31±1.806516

    CI = (7.31-1.806516, 7.31+1.806516)

    CI = (5.503484, 9.116516)

    Hence the 99% confidence interval for the population mean is

    5.503484≤x≤9.116516
