Is the sample size large enough to use the Normal model to construct a confidence interval for the parameter being estimated?  Show how you know. If the standard error of the estimate is 0.0133, construct a 95% confidence interval for this parameter. Round your answers to 4 decimal places. Interpret the confidence interval that you constructed.
