Answer: (35823600 , 36176400)

Explanation:

Mean number of units = 12

Standard deviation = 3

Number of samples (n) = 10000

Fund rate = 300

Mean = 10000 * 300 * 12 = 36000000

Standard deviation = 10000^0.5 * 300 * 3 = 90000

Fir 95% C. I

Z0.05 = 1.96

Interval = mean ± 1.96 * SE

(36000000 - 1.96*90000) ; (36000000 + 1.96*90000)

(35823600 , 36176400)
