Explanation / Answer

a)
Confidence Intervalt
Two Sided Confidence Interval for 99%
Here, n = 1005 , xbar = 18.7 and s = 19.7
z-value is 2.5758

Standard Error, SE = s/sqrt(n)
SE = 19.7/sqrt(1005)
SE = 0.6214

Margin of Error, ME = z*SE
ME = 2.5758*0.6214
ME = 1.6006

CI = (xbar - ME, xbar + ME)
CI = (18.7 - 1.6006 , 18.7 + 1.6006)
CI = (17.0994 , 20.3006)

b)
Yes, people were reading more in 1976
