Question

The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that American workers spend and average time of 27 minutes travel time to work. The travel time to work for American workers is known to be approximately normally distributed. A random sample of 20 American workers in the Chicago metropolitan area was taken and their travel times to work were recorded. Choose the formula that should be used to calculate a confidence interval for the true mean travel time to work for American workers in the Chicago metropolitan area.

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.
