Based on a survey conducted by Greenfield Online, 25 - to 34 -year-olds spend the most each week on fast food. The average weekly amount of $\$ 44$ (based on 115 respondents) was reported in a May 2009 USA Today Snapshot. Assuming that weekly fast food expenditures are normally distributed with a known standard deviation of $\$ 14.50,$ construct a $90 \%$ confidence interval for the mean weekly amount that 25 - to 34 -year-olds spend each week on fast food.
