Algebraic problem using two confidence intervals

The question involves setting up and solving equations relating two different confidence intervals (e.g., different confidence levels or sample means) to find an unknown parameter such as the population standard deviation or sample mean.

The calcium content in one bottle of beverage produced by a certain company follows a normal distribution with population mean $m$ and population standard deviation $\sigma$. When 16 bottles of beverage produced by this company were randomly sampled and the calcium content was measured, the sample mean was 12.34. When the 95\% confidence interval for the population mean $m$ of the calcium content in one bottle of beverage produced by this company is $11.36 \leq m \leq a$, what is the value of $a + \sigma$? (Note: When $Z$ follows the standard normal distribution, $\mathrm { P } ( 0 \leq Z \leq 1.96 ) = 0.4750$, and the unit of calcium content is mg.) [3 points]

The daily leisure activity time of residents in a certain region follows a normal distribution with mean $m$ minutes and standard deviation $\sigma$ minutes. When 16 residents are randomly sampled and the sample mean of daily leisure activity time is 75 minutes, the 95\% confidence interval for the population mean $m$ is $a \leq m \leq b$. When 16 residents are randomly sampled again and the sample mean of daily leisure activity time is 77 minutes, the 99\% confidence interval for the population mean $m$ is $c \leq m \leq d$. Find the value of $\sigma$ that satisfies $d - b = 3.86$. (Here, when $Z$ is a random variable following the standard normal distribution, $\mathrm { P } ( | Z | \leq 1.96 ) = 0.95 , \mathrm { P } ( | Z | \leq 2.58 ) = 0.99$.) [4 points]

A certain automobile company produces electric vehicles whose driving range on a single charge follows a normal distribution with mean $m$ and standard deviation $\sigma$.
When a sample of 100 electric vehicles produced by this company is randomly selected and the sample mean of the driving range is $\overline { x _ { 1 } }$, the 95\% confidence interval for the population mean $m$ is $a \leq m \leq b$.
When a sample of 400 electric vehicles produced by this company is randomly selected and the sample mean of the driving range is $\overline { x _ { 2 } }$, the 99\% confidence interval for the population mean $m$ is $c \leq m \leq d$.
If $\overline { x _ { 1 } } - \overline { x _ { 2 } } = 1.34$ and $a = c$, what is the value of $b - a$? (Here, the unit of driving range is km, and when $Z$ is a random variable following the standard normal distribution, $\mathrm { P } ( | Z | \leq 1.96 ) = 0.95 , \mathrm { P } ( | Z | \leq 2.58 ) = 0.99$.)
