Answer:

40.1 < μ < 43.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Margin of error = critical value × standard error

ME = CV × SE

At 99% confidence and 38 degrees of freedom, CV = 2.712.

SE = s / √n

SE = 3.86 / √39

SE = 0.618

So the margin of error is:

ME = 2.712 × 0.618

ME = 1.7

So the 99% confidence interval of the population mean is:

μ = 41.7 ± 1.7

40.0 < μ < 43.4

Closest answer is the first one.
