A civil engineer is analyzing the compressive strength of concrete. Compressive strength is approximately normally distributed with variance \sigma ^{2} = 1000(psi) 2. A random sample of 12 specimens has a mean compressive strength of Mean \mu= 3250psi.

a.) Construct a 95% two-sided confidence interval on mean compressive strength.
b.) Construct a 99% two-sided confidence interval on the mean compressive strength. Compare the width of this confidence interval with the width of the one found in a)
