Assume that we want to construct a confidence interval. Do one of the​ following, as appropriate.​ (a) Find the critical value
zα/2​,
​(b) find the critical value
tα/2​,
or​ (c) state that neither the normal nor the t distribution applies.
 
Confidence level is
95​%,
σ=23.5​,
and the histogram of​ right-eye vision mea
surements from a random sample of
52
adult males is shown to the right.

A histogram has a horizontal axis labeled "Vision in Right Eye" from 0 to greater than 200 in increments of 25 and a vertical axis labeled Frequency from 0 to 50 in increments of 10. The histogram contains vertical bars of width 25, where each vertical bar is centered over a horizontal axis tick mark. The heights of the three vertical bars are as follows, where the horizontal axis value is listed first and the height is listed second: 25, 37; 50, 14; 200, 1.

A.
zα/2=
​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
 
B.
tα/2=
​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
 
C.
Neither the normal nor the t distribution applies.
