Step-by-step explanation:

Since population std deviation is not known, we use t critical value for testing of hypothesis.

a) 90% conf level when n = 28

df = 27, t critical = 1.706

b) 95% 28

df = 27 and t critical = 2.052

c) 90% and 15

df = 14 and t critical = 1.761

d) 95% and n = 15

df = 14: t critical = 2.145
