A service station advertises that customers will have to wait no more than 30 minutes for an oil change. A sample of 25 oil changes has a standard deviation of 5.2 minutes. a.) Find the 98% confidence interval for the population variance of the time spent waiting for an oil change. Round to the nearest hundredth. b.) Find the 98% confidence interval for the population standard deviation of the time spent waiting for an oil change. Round to the nearest hundredth. Use interval notation.

The manager of a cafeteria wants to estimate the mean time customers wait before served. A random sample of 49 customers has a mean waiting me of 8.4 minutes with a standard deviation of 3.5 minutes. Find a 90% confidence interval for the mean waiting time of all customers.
The shape of the distribution of the time required to get an oil change at a 10-minute oil-change facility is unknown. However, records indicate that the mean time is 11.4 minutes, and the standard deviation is 4.3 minutes. (a) To compute probabilities regarding the sample mean using the normal model, what size sample would be required? (b) What is the probability that a random sample on n=35 oil changes results in a sample mean time less than 10 minutes?
