Final answer:

We can estimate the population mean with 95 percent confidence using the sample mean and standard deviation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there is a 95 percent chance that the true population mean value μ is between two standard deviations from the sample mean. That is, with 95 percent confidence we can say that μ is between x - 2x and x + 2x.
