    (5.294, 6.806) Answer

    Explanation:

    SD = 2.44

    Mean = 6.05

    z for 95% confidence interval = 1.96

    n=40

    Confidence Interval:

    (Mean - (z*SD) / sqrt (n), Mean + (z*SD) / sqrt (n))

    = (6.05 - (1.96*2.44) / sqrt (40), 6.05 + (1.96*2.44) / sqrt (40)))

    = (5.294, 6.806) Answer
