This is the same type of problem as your previous post on confidence intervals.

Use the same formula with these values:

n = 1003
mean = 18.9
sd = 19.9

I'll let you take it from here.

MathGuru, how do i determine the z-score for this one?
Answered by MathGuru
95% confidence = 1.96

You can determine these values by using a z-table. Make a note of the more commonly used confidence intervals so you don't have to constantly refer to the table. It will help you remember them too.
