Give a 98% confidence interval for the mean ph


"Emissions of sulfur dioxide by industry set off chemical changes in the atmosphere that result in "acid rain." The acidity of liquids is measured by pH on a scale of 0 to 14. Distilled water has pH 7.0, and lower pH values indicate acidity. Normal rain is somewhat acidic, so acid rain is sometimes defined as rainfall with a pH below 5.0. Suppose that pH measurements of rainfall on different days in a Canadian forest follow a Normal distribution with standard deviation σ = 0.5. A sample of n days finds that the mean pH is x = 4.8." Give a 98% confidence interval for the mean pH μ when n = 5, n = 15, and n = 40
