Explanation / Answer

Using z critical values

a) For alpha = 0.1, 1.645

90% CI = 36 +/- 1.645 * 4/sqrt(13) = (34.1750, 37.8250)

b) For alpha = 0.05, 1.96

95% CI = 36 +/- 1.96 * 4/sqrt(13) = (33.8256, 38.1744)

c) For alpha = 0.01, 2.576

99% CI = 36 +/- 2.576 * 4/sqrt(13) = (33.1422, 38.8578)

d) The interval gets wider as the confidence level increases.
