A researcher examines 88 sedimentary samples for nitrate concentration. The mean nitrate concentration for the sample data is 0.688 cc/cubic meter with a standard deviation of 0.0701. Determine the 95% confidence interval for the population mean nitrate concentration. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 1 of 2: Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.
