A survey of 77 commercial airline flights of under 2 hours resulted in a sample average late time for a flight of 2.52 minutes. The population standard deviation was 12 minutes. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the average time that a commercial flight of under 2 hours is late. What is the point estimate? What does the interval tell about whether the average flight is late?

Given an airline that flies between two cities with a quoted
flight time of 2 hours and 10 minutes (130 minutes). Historical
records indicate that the flight time between the two cities varies
from 2 hours (120 minutes) to 2 hours and 20 minutes (140 minutes).
The flight times are uniformly distributed. What is the probability
that the flight will be between 125 minutes and 135 minutes?

An airline needs an estimate of the average number of passengers
(the mean passenger load) on a newly scheduled flight. If the mean
passenger load on this flight does not exceed 120 passengers in the
first few months of operation, the airline plans to discontinue the
flight. Its experience is that data for the first month of flights
are unreliable, but thereafter the passenger load settles down.
Therefore, the sample mean passenger load is calculated for the
first 20 weekdays...
