\begin{gathered} CI=\mu\pm T((\sigma)/(โˆš(n))) \\ CI=3407\pm1.292((2539)/(โˆš(81))) \\ CI=3407\pm1.292((2539)/(9)) \\ CI=3407\pm1.292(282.111111) \\ CI=3407\pm364.448 \\ CI=(3042.552,3771.448) \end{gathered}

So the confidence value with a t value of 1.292 is between (3044,3771)

Option C) Between $3044 and $3771
