Hello! I need help figuring out how to get the answer on this. Thank you!

 

At wind speeds above 1000 centimeters per second (cm/sec), significant sand-moving events begin to occur. Wind speeds below 1000 cm/sec deposit sand, and wind speeds above 1000 cm/sec move sand to new locations. The cyclic nature of wind and moving sand determines the shape and location of large dunes. At a test site, the prevailing direction of the wind did not change noticeably. However, the velocity did change. Sixty-five wind speed readings gave an average velocity of \(\overline{X} = 1075\) cm/sec. Based on long-term experience, \(\sigma\) can be assumed to be 260 cm/sec.

(a) Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean wind speed at this site. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)
- lower limit: [    ] cm/sec
- upper limit: [    ] cm/sec

(b) Does the confidence interval indicate that the population mean wind speed is such that the sand is always moving at this site? Explain.
- [ ] No. This interval indicates that the population mean wind speed is such that the sand may not always be moving at this site.
- [ ] Yes. This interval indicates that the population mean wind speed is such that the sand is always moving at this site.
- [ ] Yes. This interval indicates that the population mean wind speed is such that the sand may not always be moving at this site.
- [ ] No. This interval indicates that the population mean wind speed is such that the sand is always moving at this site.
