A Single Population Mean Using the Student's t-Distribution · Exercise 4
A hospital is trying to cut down on emergency room wait times. It is interested in the amount of time patients must wait before being called back to be examined. An investigation committee randomly surveyed 70 patients. The sample mean was 1.5 hr, with a sample standard deviation of 0.5 hr.
Construct a 95 percent confidence interval for the population mean time spent waiting. State the confidence interval, sketch the graph, and calculate the error bound.
