this may help you

it is given that the standard deviation  0.8, so we can use  the normal distribution critical value for the 95% confidence interval. 
sample mean = 2.36 
standard deviation = 0.8 
standard error of mean = σ / √ n 
standard error of mean = 0.8 / √ 50 
se = 0.8/7.0711 
standard error of mean 0.1131 
Confidence interval 2.36-(0.1131)(1.96) 
and 2.36+(0.1131)(1.96) 
95% confidence interval :(2.14, 2.58)
