Answer

144.80 < $\mu$ < 155.20

Work Step by Step

Formula for CI: $\bar{x}$ $\pm$ ( z$\times$$\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt n}$) = $150 \pm ( 2.5758\times\frac{15.50}{\sqrt60 })$ = $150\pm 5.154$ CI: $144.8461 < \mu < 155.154 \approx 144.80 < \mu < 155.20$ Interpretation: With 99% confidence, it can be said that the population mean repair cost lies between \$144.80 and \$155.20
