The time (in days) until maturity of a certain variety of tomato plant is normally distributed, with mean μ and standard deviation σ = 2.4. I select a simple random sample of four plants of this variety and measure the time until maturity. The sample yields x̄ = 65. A 95% confidence interval for μ (in days) is:

Step 1
The problem states that the time until maturity of a tomato plant variety is normally distributed with a mean (μ) and a standard deviation (σ = 2.4). A sample of four plants (n = 4) has an average maturity time (x̄ = 65 days). We need to calculate a 95% confidence Show more…

The time (in number of days) until maturity of a certain variety of tomato plant is normally distributed with an unknown mean. Select a simple random sample of n plants of this variety and measure the time until maturity. The sample yields a sample mean of 65 days and a sample standard deviation of 2 days. Construct a 95% confidence interval for μ in days?

In a random sample of 20 customers at a local fast-food restaurant, the mean waiting time to order is 95 seconds, and the standard deviation is 21 seconds. Assume the waiting times are normally distributed and construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean wait time of all customers.
