    Confidence interval for the mean amount = 54+1.645*21/sqrt (16) = (62.64, 45.36)

    Explanation:

    confidence interval = mean + z*, where z * is the upper (1-C) / 2 critical value for the standard normal distribution.

    z score for 90% confidence interval = 1.645

    confidence interval for the mean amount = 54+1.645*21/sqrt (16) = (62.64, 45.36)
