confidence interval = ( 1.3524, 2.1323

Explanation:

so we have 50 observations/ react times hence we use z-test for the mean

SUM OF OBSERVATION (∑x) = 87.12

SUM OF SQUARE = (∑x²) = 207.9336

100 ( 1 - ∝ ) % confidence interval for population mean is

mean = 87.12 / 50 = 1.7429

S² = I/49 ( 207.9336 - 50(1.7429)²)

S² = 1.145627

S = √1.145627 = 1.07034

FOR ∝ = 0.01

Z₍ ₀.₀₁/₂₎ = 2.57583

so confidence interval = ( 1.7429 - 2.57583 × 1.07039/√50, 1.7429 + 2.57583 × 1.07039/√50)

confidence interval = ( 1.3524, 2.1323 )
