Answer

we know the formula for confidence interval is given as

CI = ar{x} pm z*(sigma/sqrt{n})

we are using z because sigma is known and sample size is greater than 30

z critical value for 92.5% confidence level is z = 1.78 (using z distribution table)

we have  т = 80, σ 5.4. n 94

setting the given values, we get

CI-80 ± 1.78 * (5.4/V94)-80 ± (1.78 * 0.5570)

this gives us

CI 80 ± (1.78 * 0.5570) = 79.00861 80.99 14

So, we can write it as 79.0086 < μ < 80.9914

This is most accurate and matching with option A

So, option A is correct answer
