Question
In order to estimate the average electric usage per month, a sample of 36 houses was selected and the electric usage was determined. Assume a population standard deviation of 335 kilowatt-hours. The margin of error is 109.43. If the sample mean is 1,828 kWh, find the 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean.
