90% confidence interval for the population mean is 140.4 & 147.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean = 144
SD = 12
n = Sample size = 30
90% confidence interval
= 0.9
1 - 0.9 = 0.1
0.1/2 = 0.05
Z score for 1 -0.05 = 0.95 is 1.645
144 ± Z * SD/√n
= 144 ± (1.645) 12/√30
= 144 ± 3.6
= 140.4 & 147.6
90% confidence interval for the population mean is 140.4 & 147.6
