Here's what you will need to answer this question:

Lower limits = mean - 3(sd/√n)
Upper limits = mean + 3(sd/√n)

sd = standard deviation
n = sample size

You will need to calculate the mean and standard deviation from the data given. Once you have those values, you can then determine the lower and upper limits.

I hope this will help get you started.
