An experiment was conducted to estimate the effect of smoking on the blood pressure of a group

Question:

An experiment was conducted to estimate the effect of smoking on the blood pressure of a group of 35 cigarette smokers, by taking the difference in the blood pressure readings at the beginning of the experiment and again 5 years later. The sample mean increase, measured in millimeters of mercury, was  = 9.7, and the sample standard deviation was s = 5.8. Estimate the mean increase in blood pressure that one would expect for cigarette smokers over the time span indicated by the experiment. Find the margin of error. Describe the population associated with the mean that you have estimated.
