The monthly sales of a plywood shop are normally distributed with a standard deviation of ₹900. A statistical study of sales in the last nine months has found a confidence interval for the mean monthly sales with extremes ₹4663 and ₹5839. What were the average sales over the nine-month period?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

A confidence interval is symmetric about the sample mean, so the mean is the midpoint of the two extremes.

Hence the average is 4663+58392=5251\frac{4663+5839}{2}=5251.
