Answer

$295.2\lt\mu\lt397.3$

Work Step by Step

1. The mean value of the data set can be found as $\bar X=346.25$ 2. At 92% confidence, use table E or a calculator, the critical z-value can be found as $z_{\alpha/2}=1.75$ 3. Given $\sigma=165.1, n=32$, the error of estimation can be found as $E=1.75\times\frac{165.1}{\sqrt {32}}=51.07$ 4. the interval of the mean can be found as $\bar X−E\lt\mu\lt\bar X+E$ which gives $295.2\lt\mu\lt397.3$
