A random sample of 16 lightbulbs of one brand was selected to estimate the mean lifetime that brand of bulbs. The sample mean was 1,025 hours, with a standard deviation of 130 hours. Assuming that the lifetimes are approximately normally distributed, which of the following will give a 95 percent confidence interval to estimate the mean lifetime?
