Suppose that 14 children, who were learning to ride two-wheel bikes, were surveyed to determine how long they had to use training wheels. It was revealed that they used them an average of eleven months with a sample standard deviation of two months. Assume that the underlying population distribution is normal.

Suppose that 14 children, who were learning to ride two-wheel bikes, were surveyed to determine how long they had to use training wheels. It was revealed that they used them an average of eleven months with a sample standard deviation of two months. Assume that the underlying population distribution is normal.
