Can some one give me some hints please..
The answer isn't even in your options; the correct answer is 119.9mm Hg, 160.1mm Hg.
The correct answer is C.
You have to include the CI=90% which is a zscore = 1.645
Take the SD of 13.4 and multiply it by the zscore. Then subtract and add 136. Round up and the answer is C.
