    Answer: f) None of the above

    = (5.283, 5.917)

    Therefore at 90% confidence interval (a, b) = (5.283, 5.917)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

    The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

    x+/-zr/√n

    Given that;

    Mean x = 5.6ft

    Standard deviation r = 1.0ft

    Number of samples n = 27

    Confidence interval = 90%

    z (at 90% confidence) = 1.645

    Substituting the values we have;

    5.6+/-1.645 (1.0/√27)

    5.6+/-1.645 (0.192)

    5.6+/-0.317 ft

    = (5.283, 5.917)

    Therefore at 90% confidence interval (a, b) = (5.283, 5.917)
