Answer:

Option D, 55.45 to 70.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Alpha = 1 – confidence interval  

Alpha = 1 – 0.98 = 0.02

Sample size = n = 8

t (alpha/2) ; (n-1) = t (0.02/2) ; (8-1) = t 0.01, 7 = 2.998

Mean = sum of all frequencies /total number of frequency = 505.6/8 = 63.2

s = 7.309

E = t (0.01;7) * s/sqrt n

Substituting the given values, we get –  

E = 2.998 * 7.309 /sqrt  (8)

E = 7.75  

98% confidence interval  

Mean – E  and Mean + E

63.2 – 7.75 and 63.2 + 7.75  

(55.45, 70.95)
