Answer: (1076.71\ ,1583.29)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Level of significance : 1-\alpha:0.99

Then , significance level : \alpha: 1-0.99=0.01

Since , sample size : n=24 , which is small sample (n<30) so the test applied here is a t-test.

Degree of freedom= n-1=24-1=23

Using t-distribution table , Critical value : \text{t-score}=t_{n-1, \alpha/2}=2.807336

Sample mean : \overline{x}=1330

Standard deviation: \sigma: 442

The confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

\overline{x}\pm t_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

1330\pm(2.807336)\dfrac{442}{\sqrt{24}}\approx1330\pm253.29=(1076.71\ ,1583.29)

Hence,  a  99% confidence interval for the population mean.=(1076.71\ ,1583.29)
