After calculating, we get the confidence interval as [10.35, 13.65].

To estimate the 95% confidence interval, we use Z = 1.96 for 95% confidence level.

Since the sample size is 16 and standard deviation is 3, we can calculate the standard error.

Therefore, the 95% confidence interval is 12 ± 1.5975, giving us a range of 10.4025 to 13.5975.

And the margin of error would be 2.13 * 3 / sqrt(16), which is 1.5975.

I agree. The margin of error is equal to the critical value times the standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size.
