he commute times for workers in a city are normally distributed with an unknown population mean and standard deviation. If a random sample of 20 workers is taken and results in a sample mean of 21 minutes and sample standard deviation of 6 minutes, find a 95% confidence interval estimate for the population mean using the Student's t-distribution.
