We are 95% confidence that the population mean lies between #10.27# and #9.21#

95% Confidence interval is -

#mu=barx+-(SE . z)#

# SE =sigma/sqrtn=2.93/sqrt115=2.93/10.72=0.27#

#z# value for 95% confidence

#z = 1.96#

Upper Limit:

#mu=9.74+(0.27 xx 1.96)#
#mu=9.74+0.53#
#mu=10.27#

Lower Limit:

#mu=9.74-(0.27 xx 1.96)#
#mu=9.74-0.53#
#mu=9.21#
