Assume that we want to construct a confidence interval. Do one of the following, as appropriate: (a) find the critical value tα/2, (b) find the critical value zα/2, or (c) state that neither the normal distribution nor the t distribution applies. The confidence level is 99%, σ is not known, and the histogram of 62 player salaries (in thousands of dollars) of football players on a team is as shown.

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.
