Answer: hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

answer :  

a) 85.0

b) 27.4

c)  (82.26,   87.74 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data :

95% confidence interval

x ( mean ) = 85

s = 8.8

n ( sample size ) = 42

using t-distribution

a) calculate the point estimate

The point estimate = 85.0  given that a sample mean is the same as a point estimate of the sample population

b) calculate the Margin of error

df = 42 - 1 = 41

∝ = 0.05

critical value ( T ∝/2 , 41 ) = 2.02

hence ; margin of error  ( E )

=    2.74 ( using margin of error calculator )

c) The 95% confidence interval

 = 85 ± 2.74

(82.26,   87.74 )
