For 99.9% confidence, Z = 3.291


We have the mean value \overline{x} given as 9.84 s. The standard deviation s is given as 0.08mm. The number of randomly selected students is n = 8.

Substituting this in the formula \overline{x} \pm Z \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}  

we get 9.84\ \pm3.921\ \times\frac{0.08}{\sqrt{8}}  

= 9.84\ \pm3.291\ \times\frac{0.08}{2.828..}

=\ 9.84\ \pm0.09\


So the population mean time of all the 100 m runners is almost certain to be between 9.75 s and 9.93 s.


So option C is the right answer.
