Answer:

[$489.83, $883.67]

Step-by-step explanation:

The 98% confidence interval is given by the interval

\bf  [\bar x-t\frac{s}{\sqrt n}, \bar x+t\frac{s}{\sqrt n}]

where

\bf  \bar x=686.75 is the sample mean  

s = 256.20 is the sample standard deviation  

n = 15 is the sample size

t is the 2% critical value for the Student's t-distribution with 14 degrees of freedom (sample size -1), this is a value such that the area under the Student's t curve outside the interval [-t, t] is 2%=0.02.

We are using the t-distribution for it is the approximation to the Normal distribution for small samples (n<30).

Either by using a table or the computer, we find  

t = 2.9768

In Excel we use the function

<em>TINV(0.01,14) </em>

In OpenOffice Calc

<em>TINV(0.01;14) </em>

and our 98% confidence interval is

\bf  [686.75-2.9768*\frac{256.20}{\sqrt{15}}, 686.75+2.9768*\frac{256.20}{\sqrt{15}}]=\boxed{[\$489.83,\$883.67]}
