How much experience do supply-chain transportation managers have
in their field? Suppose in an effort to estimate this, 41
supply-chain transportation managers are surveyed and asked how
many years of managerial experience they have in transportation.
Survey results (in years) are shown below. Use these data to
construct a 99% confidence interval to estimate the mean number of
years of experience in transportation. Assume that years of
experience in transportation is normally distributed in the
population.
