The confidence interval is from 0.2191 to 0.2649, given by

0.242\pm0.0229.

The z-score we need is found by first subtracting the confidence level from 1:
1 - 0.95 = 0.05

Divide that by 2:
0.05/2 = 0.025

Subtract that from 1:
1 - 0.025 = 0.975

Look this up in the middle of a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) and we see that the z-score is 1.96.

Now our confidence interval is given by
\overline{x} \pm z\times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}
\\
\\0.242\pm 1.96 \times (\frac{0.037}{\sqrt{10}})
\\
\\0.242 \pm .0229
\\
\\0.242-0.0229=0.2191
\\
\\0.242+0.0229 = 0.2649
