Step 1 :Given values are mean = 13.6, standard deviation = 9.2, sample size = 48, and confidence level = 98%.
Step 2 :Calculate the z-score for the given confidence level. The z-score for a 98% confidence level is approximately 2.326.
Step 3 :Calculate the margin of error using the formula \(z \times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\), where z is the z-score, \(\sigma\) is the standard deviation, and n is the sample size. The margin of error is approximately 3.089.
Step 4 :Calculate the confidence interval using the formula \(\mu \pm\) margin of error, where \(\mu\) is the mean. The lower bound of the confidence interval is \(13.6 - 3.089 = 10.5\) and the upper bound is \(13.6 + 3.089 = 16.7\).
Step 5 :Final Answer: A 98% confidence interval for the mean percentage of fake Twitter followers is \(\boxed{10.5}<\mu<\boxed{16.7}\).
