Plz Help!!!!!!! I can't figure this out

Confidence interval for the population mean: Use of the t distribution

A corporation that maintains a large fleet of company cars for the use of its sales staff is interested in the mean distance driven monthly per sales person. The following table gives the monthly distances in miles driven by a random sample of sales persons:

2232,2091,2246,2280,2129,2393,2210,2498,2250,1903,2365,

1984,2028,2083,1881,2204,2282,2104,1926

Based on this sample, find a confidence interval for the mean number of miles driven monthly by members of the sales staff, assuming that monthly driving distances are normally distributed. Then complete the table below.

Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to one decimal place.

**Questions from the above scenario**

What is the lower limit confidence level?

What is the upper limit confidence level?

Sounds like student strife.
