4. There are 200 gas stations in the city. An economist takes a random sample of 50 of them. Their average gasoline price is $ 1.339 per gallon, with a sample standard deviation of 23.1 cents per gallon. Determine an 80-percent confidence interval for the average price citywide, while assuming that the population data is normally distributed
