From the above table, the interval estimator for the mean average annual
household income level

[60623.58, 82403.09].

This means that the mean of income level with 99% confidence interval is
between 60623.58 and 82403.09, ignoring 5% of data.
Graph:

c. Interpret the 99% confidence interval constructed in part b.

I'd like to note that the true value of annual household income level

is

either in the interval or it's not. Thus require to repeat the sample
random variable many times. Then, confidence interval (CI) will include
the true value 99% of the time.
On the other hand, there is 1- chance to say that 60623.58 will be
lower than parameter

and 82403.09 will be higher than .

d.1 Does the 99% CI contain the actual population mean?

In estimation, we express the probability of actual population mean by
the following: P (60623.58 82403.09) = 99%
d.2 What proportion should include the true population mean value?

b.1 Do you believe both of the confidence intervals in part a are valid and
/or useful?
The confidence intervals are not useful here because I measured the
average time of population (John & Fred) without estimate/inference by
using random sample.
b.2 Which of the two workers would you rather have?
I will have Fred since his mean time = 65.84 second is less than John
mean time = 67.13 second.
