(-19.92, 21.488)

Step-by-step explanation:

given dа ta:

98% confidence interval

Critical value of z at 98% confidence interval is t = 2.33

standard deviation = 5.031

sample mean = 9.808

z statistic to construct 98% confidence interval.

Margin of error = t * standard deviation = 2.33 * 5.013 = 11.680

98% confidence interval of mean is,

(9.808 - 11.68, 9.808 + 11.68)

(-19.92, 21.488)
