16. A cellular telephone company recently conducted research into the length of calls (in minutes) made by customers. In a random sample of 30 calls, the sample mean was x? = 14.6 minutes and the standard deviation was s_x = 5.6 minutes. Construct and interpret a 90% confidence interval for true mean length.

A cellular telephone company recently conducted research into the length of calls (in minutes) made by customers. In a random sample of 30 calls, the sample mean was 18.6 minutes and the standard deviation was s = 2 minutes. Construct and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the true mean call length.

A phone company has conducted a study of the time its clients spend talking on their cellular phones each day. For a sample of 40 clients, the company has obtained a sample standard deviation of 13.3 minutes. We assume that the talk time follows a normal distribution. The confidence interval at the 90% level for the standard deviation of the talk time in the population is: None of these [9.7, 21.88] [10.5, 18.41] [10.3, 19.12]

The technical support department at a technology company sampled 100,000 calls and reported that the mean of time a customer is placed on hold is 5.5 minutes. Assume a standard deviation of 1.35 minutes. Provide a 95% confidence interval estimate for the true average time (in minutes) a customer was placed on hold. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) minutes to minutes
