The organization selected a random sample of n = 200 children between the ages of 6 and 18 and recorded the number of minutes of TV that each person watched on a particular day. The mean time was 191.3 minutes. If the leaders of the organization wish to develop an interval estimate with 98 percent confidence, what critical value should be used?A) z = 1.645
  B) t = 2.38
  C) Approximately z = 2.33
  D) Can't be determined without knowing the margin of error.
