-Use the given degree of confidence and sample data to construct

a confidence interval for the population mean μ. Assume that the population has a normal distribution.

A laboratory tested twelve chicken eggs and found that the mean amount of cholesterol was 227 milligrams with s = 18.4 milligrams. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true mean cholesterol content of all such eggs.
