    c. 18.36-21.64

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Using the following formulas the lower and upper limits of the interval are calculated

    Lower limit = mean - (standard deviation / √sample size) * Zr

    Upper limit = mean + (standard deviation / √sample size) * Zr

    Zr depends on confidence interval

    Zr for 90% = 1.645

    then

    Lower limit = 20 - (4 / √16) * 1.645 = 18.355 ≈ 18.36

    Upper limit = 20 + (4 / √16) * 1.645 = 21.645 ≈ 21.64
