Answer:

18.0167≤x≤21.9833

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following

sample size n = 10

standard deviation s = 3.2

Sample mean = 20

z-score at 95% = 1.96

Confidence Interval = x ± z×s/√n

Confidence Interval = 20 ± 1.96×3.2/√10

Confidence Interval = 20 ± (1.96×3.2/3.16)

Confidence Interval = 20 ± (1.96×1.0119)

Confidence Interval = 20 ±  1.9833

CI = {20-1.9833, 20+1.9833}

CI = {18.0167, 21.9833}

Hence the required confidence interval is 18.0167≤x≤21.9833
