Question

A child psychologist wanted to determine if the babies responded to their mothers voice when they could not see them. She measured the total time the babies actively sucked their pacifiers while listening to their mothers' voices without seeing them for 10 minutes. She ran this test on 12 babies and found the average time was 4.8 minutes with a standard deviation of 1.1 minutes. What one is the correct 90% confidence interval for the average amount of time the babies sucked their pacifiers that can be obtained from this data? (Assume that the times are approximately Normally distributed)
A. (4.230, 5.370)
B. (4.178, 5.422)
C. (4.278, 5.322)
D. (4.101, 5.499)

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
