I. Solve the following

1. In a random sample of 40 students in a university, the mean waiting time to log in to their student portal school website is 8 seconds, and the standard deviation is 3 seconds. Assume the waiting time are normally distributed , find the length of the confidence interval using 90% confidence level. Why does the sample mean not affect the length of the confidence interval?

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.
