'Use the Empirical Rule (68-95-99.7) to identify the interval: The time between infection with the HIV virus and developing AIDS follows a normal distribution with mean of 8 years and standard deviation of 2 years. Find the time interval in which 95% of those who have been infected with the HIV virus will develop AIDS_ from 4 to 12 years from 5 to 11 years from 2 to 14 years from 3 to 13 years from 6 to 10 years'

A researcher desires to know the population mean incubation period of a new strain of the flu. In 27 different experiments, it is determined that the incubation period is 56.3 hours. Assume it is known that population standard deviation is 5.3 hours. Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean incubation period for this new flu strain. Assume the distribution of incubation times is about normal. Then interval will consist of two values. Only enter the smaller of the two values. Round your answer to one decimal place.

Decide whether applying the $t$ -interval procedure to obtain a confidence interval for the population mean in question appears reasonable. Explain your answers. In the special report "Mousetrap: The Most-Visited Shoe and Apparel E-tailers" (Footwear News, Vol. $58,$ No. $3, p .18$ ), we found the following data on the average time, in minutes, spent per user per month from January to June of one year for a sample of 15 shoe and apparel retail Web sites. $$\begin{array}{|lcccc|} \hline 13.3 & 9.0 & 11.1 & 9.1 & 8.4 \\ 15.6 & 8.1 & 8.3 & 13.0 & 17.1 \\ 16.3 & 13.5 & 8.0 & 15.1 & 5.8 \\ \hline \end{array}$$
