I have created 95% confidence interval estimates of the population mean µ from your data in columns E and F. I have used the fact that I know σ is 6.5, that the sample was from a normal population, and that you all took samples of size 10. Therefore, the interval becomes sample mean ± 1.96*6.5/3.16. (3.16 is the appro
