This will be your formula:
$\frac{32}{800} = \frac{120}{x}$
cross multiply (32 times x) (120 times 800)
this is what you'll get:

Mumz [18]

Answer:

$296.693\leq x\leq 319.307$

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for the population mean x can be calculated as:

$x'-z_{\alpha /2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } \leq x\leq x'+z_{\alpha /2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$

Where x' is the sample mean, s is the population standard deviation, n is the sample size and $z_{\alpha /2}$ is the z-score that let a proportion of $\alpha /2$ on the right tail.

$\alpha$ is calculated as: 100%-99%=1%

So, $z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.005}=2.576$

Finally, replacing the values of x' by 308, s by 17, n by 15 and $z_{\alpha /2}$ by 2.576, we get that the confidence interval is:

$308-2.576\frac{17}{\sqrt{15} } \leq x\leq 308+2.576\frac{17}{\sqrt{15} }\\308-11.307 \leq x\leq 308+11.307\\296.693\leq x\leq 319.307$
