Answer:

The 99% confidence interval would be given (11.448;14.152).

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Important concepts and notation

A confidence interval for a mean "gives us a range of plausible values for the population mean. If a confidence interval does not include a particular value, we can say that it is not likely that the particular value is the true population mean"

s=16.6 represent the sample deviation

\bar X=12.8 represent the sample mean

n =1003 is the sample size selected

Confidence =99% or 0.99

\alpha=1-0.99=0.01 represent the significance level.

2) Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean would be given by this formula

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

We can use a z quantile instead of t since the sample size is large enough.

For the 99% confidence interval the value of \alpha=1-0.99=0.01 and \alpha/2=0.005, with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

z_{\alpha/2}=2.58

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

12.8 - 2.58 \frac{16.6}{\sqrt{1003}}=11.448

12.8 + 2.58 \frac{16.6}{\sqrt{1003}} =14.152

And the 99% confidence interval would be given (11.448;14.152).

We are confident that about 11 to 14 are the number of books that the people had read on the last year on average, at 1% of significance.
