A company randomly selects 7 office employees and secretly monitored their computers for one month. The time (in hours) spent by these employees using their computers for non-job-related activities (playing games, personal communication, etc.) during this month resulted in a sample mean of 9.4 hours and a sample standard deviation of 5.23 hours.

Suppose the time is normally distributed, find the lower confidence limit for a 90% CI for the true mean time spent by these employees using their computers for non-job-related activities

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.
