In the general population, height is normally distributed with a mean of 162.4 cm and a standard deviation of 11.1cm. You wish to examine whether the basketballers at your local sports and recreation centre differ in height than the general population. You sampled 24 basketballers and measured their height which gave you a mean of 186.0cm and a standard deviation of 8.9cm. Calculate the upper bound of the 99% confidence interval. Give your answer to 2 decimal places.
