Given that the mean is $9.5 and the standard deviation is $1.30, the standard error will be given by:
σ/√n
where
σ-standard deviation
n=sample size

thus, we shal have:
1.30/√20
=0.2906
Next we find the margin error
0.2906*2=0.581
thus the confidence interval will be:
(9.5+0.581, 9.5-0.581)
=(10.081,8.919)
