Given data

*The given mean is u = 2.3 pounds

*The total number of macaw parts is n = 38

*The given standard deviation is Q = 0.20 Pounds

Z-score for 90% confidence interval is Z = 1.645

The formula for the confidence interval is given as


s=u\pm\frac{zQ}{\sqrt[]{n}}

Substitute the values in the above expression as


\begin{gathered} s=2.3\pm\frac{1.645*0.20}{\sqrt[]{38}} \\ =2.3\pm0.05337 \\ =2.24,2.35\text{ pounds} \end{gathered}
