Answer:

95% confidence interval: (0.325 ,0.383)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 231

Sample mean = 0.354 ppm

Sample standard deviation = 0.231 ppm

95% confidence interval:

\bar{x} \pm t_{critical}\displaystyle\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}  

Putting the values, we get,  

t_{critical}\text{ at degree of freedom 4 and}~\alpha_{0.01} = \pm 1.97  

0.354 \pm 1.97(\dfrac{0.231}{\sqrt{231}} ) = 0.354 \pm 0.029 = (0.325 ,0.383)
