Expert Solution
Step 1

we wants to find the 90% confidence interval .

as population parameters are unknown we use t test statistics to build 90 % confidence interval .

let us fist calculate sample mean and sample standard deviation .

waiting time (x )  Deviation (X - M) Squared Dev.
17 -1.62 2.64
18 -0.62 0.39
16 -2.62 6.89
20 1.38 1.89
20 1.38 1.89
12 -6.62 43.89
19 0.38 0.14
19 0.38 0.14
15 -3.62 13.14
27 8.38 70.14
14 -4.62 21.39
23 4.38 19.14
15 -3.62 13.14
25 6.38 40.64
18 -0.62 0.39
20 1.38 1.89
298    
M: 18.62   SS: 237.75

hence based on above table sample mean = 18.62

and standard deviation=  237.7515=3.9772
