Books get more and more expensive every semester, but the distribution of their prices is always normal. 25 randomly selected students in your school spent, on average $500 with a standard deviation of $50. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the true spending on books.

In an attempt to see how their electric bill compares to their neighbors, a couple talks with 5 others on their street. They find that the sample mean monthly electric bill is $99.50 with a sample standard deviation of $9.20. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean monthly electric bill.
Of 29 randomly selected rugby players, the sample mean resting heart rate is found to be 54 bpm with a population standard deviation of 3 bpm. Assuming the heart rates are normally distributed, construct an 80% confidence interval for the population mean resting heart rate.
400 random gas stations are found to have a sample mean cost of $3.50 per gallon with a sample standard deviation of $0.50. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true mean spending on books.
