### Margin of Error Calculation

**c.** Obtain the margin of error by using the formula: 

\[ E = z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} \cdot \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} \]

**Identify the critical value.**

\[ z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} = \] 
(Type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed.)

**What is the margin of error obtained using the methods of parts (b) and (c)?**

\[ \] 
(Type an integer or decimal rounded to one decimal place as needed.)

## Confidence Interval Calculation Using Sample Data

A sample mean, sample size, population standard deviation, and confidence level are provided. Use this information to complete parts (a) through (c) below.

Given:
- Sample mean (\(\bar{x}\)) = 54
- Sample size (\(n\)) = 18
- Population standard deviation (\(\sigma\)) = 6
- Confidence level = 99%

### a. Calculating the Confidence Interval

Use the one-mean z-interval procedure to find a confidence interval for the mean of the population from which the sample was drawn.

- **The confidence interval is from** [____] **to** [____].

*(Type integers or decimals rounded to one decimal place as needed.)*

---

### b. Determining the Length of the Confidence Interval

Obtain the margin of error by taking half the length of the confidence interval.

- **What is the length of the confidence interval?**

[____]

*(Type an integer or decimal rounded to one decimal place as needed.)*

---

### c. Calculating the Margin of Error

Obtain the margin of error by using the formula: 

\[ E = z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} \cdot \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} \]
