The mean of 50 mg/liter is not inside the 99% interval, so there is not enough evidence to support their claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the z-value for a confidence of 99%

The value of alpha for a 99% confidence is:

$1-\alpha/2 = 0.99$

$\alpha/2 = 0.01$

$\alpha = 0.005$

Looking in the z-table, we have z = 2.575.

Now we can find the standard error of the mean:

$\sigma_{\bar{x} }= s_x/\sqrt{n}$

$\sigma_{\bar{x} }= 14.4/\sqrt{100}$

$\sigma_{\bar{x} }=1.44$

Finding the 99% confidence interval, we have:

$99\%\ interval = (\bar{x} - z\sigma_{\bar{x}}, \bar{x} + z\sigma_{\bar{x}})$

$99\%\ interval = (32.2 - 2.575*1.44, 32.2 + 2.575*1.44)$

$99\%\ interval = (28.492, 35.908)$

The mean of 50 mg/liter is not inside the 99% interval, so there is not enough evidence to support their claim.
