Here are a few hints to get you started:
a). Standard error of the mean = standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size
b). CI95 = mean ± 1.96(sd/√n)
...where ± 1.96 represents the 95% interval using a z-table, sd = standard deviation, and n = sample size
c). You are 95% confident that the population mean is within the interval.
