Suppose that the wait times for patients in an emergency room are normally distributed with an unknown mean and standard deviation. A random sample of 18 patients is taken and gives a sample mean of 25 minutes and a sample standard deviation of 2 minutes.
As found above, the EBM, margin of error, for a 95% confidence interval estimate for the population mean using the Student's t-distribution is 0.99.
Find a 95% confidence interval estimate for the population mean using the Student's t-distribution.

The commute times for workers in a city are normally distributed with an unknown population mean and standard deviation. If a random sample of 37 workers is taken and results in a sample mean of 31 minutes and sample standard deviation of 5 minutes. Use Excel to find a 95% confidence interval estimate for the population mean using the Student's t-distribution. Round the final answers to two decimal places.

Suppose that pizza delivery times are normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 6 minutes. A random sample of 50 pizza delivery restaurants is taken and has a sample mean delivery time of 36 minutes. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean delivery time.

Suppose that the recovery period, in days, for patients having back surgery is normally distributed with an unknown mean and standard deviation. The recovery period lengths of 39 randomly sampled back surgery patients are used to estimate the mean of the population. Use Excel to find the t-score that should be used to calculate the 99% confidence interval for the population mean. Round your answer to three decimal places.

A sample of 25 patients in a doctor's office showed that they had to wait an average of 35 minutes with a standard deviation of 10 minutes before they could see the doctor. Provide a 98% confidence interval estimate for the average waiting time of all the patients who visit this doctor. Assume the population of waiting times is normally distributed.
The wait times to see a doctor at a large clinic are normally distributed with a...
The wait times to see a doctor at a large clinic are normally distributed with a mean of 68.2 minutes and a standard deviation of 14.8 minutes. If a simple random sample of 25 patients is selected, find the probability that the sample mean wait time is more than 75 minutes. Round to four decimal places.

Shake Shack at the mall is a popular destination with long wait times. Suppose we wish to estimate the wait time for customers at peak dinner time. Assume a previous random sample of size 30 was taken and the sample mean was found to be 14.82 minutes with a sample standard deviation of 4.13 minutes. How large a sample should they take to estimate the true mean wait time to be within 1.2 minutes at the 95% confidence interval?

a)A sample of 30 patients in a doctor's office showed that they had to wait for an average of 33 minutes before they could see the doctor. The sample standard deviation is 14 minutes. Assume the population of waiting times is normally distributed.At 90% confidence, compute the lower bound of interval estimate for the average waiting time of all the patients who visit this doctor. b)A university planner wants to determine the proportion of spring semester students who will attend...

5. A hospital is studying the amount of time that patients spend waiting in the emergency room before they are called back to see a doctor. A committee conducts a random survey of 65 emer- gency room patients. The sample mean is 1.6 hours with a sample standard deviation of 0.45 hours. (a) Use your calculator to find a 90% confidence interval for the population mean time spent waiting. Briefly explain what keys you used. (b) What is the error...

2. Suppose that the amount of time teenagers spend working at part-time jobs is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 20 minutes. A random sample of 100 observations is drawn, and the sample mean computed as 120 minutes. Determine the 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean.
