Explanation / Answer

Confidence Interval
CI = x ± t a/2 * (sd/ Sqrt(n))
Where,
x = Mean
sd = Standard Deviation
a = 1 - (Confidence Level/100)
ta/2 = t-table value
CI = Confidence Interval
Mean(x)=1.037
Standard deviation( sd )=0.273
Sample Size(n)=7
Confidence Interval = [ 1.037 ± t a/2 ( 0.273/ Sqrt ( 7) ) ]
= [ 1.037 - 1.943 * (0.103) , 1.037 + 1.943 * (0.103) ]
= [ 0.837,1.237 ]
