Question

A corporation that maintains a large fleet of company cars for the use of its sales staff is interested in the mean distance driven monthly per salesperson. The following list gives the monthly distances in miles driven by a random sample of

12 salespeople.2116, 2682,2543, 2480, 2684, 2005, 2015, 2515, 2152, 2699, 2470, 2474

Send data to calculator

Based on this sample, find a 90%confidence interval for the mean number of miles driven monthly by members of the sales staff, assuming that monthly driving distances are normally distributed. Give the lower limit and upper limit of the

90% confidence interval.

Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to one decimal place. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

Lower limit:
Upper limit:

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.
