Bus travel. The length of time a bus takes to travel from two locations in a big city is normally distributed. A random sample of 6 trips took 23, 19, 25, 34, 24, and 28 minutes, respectively. Assume that the sample standard deviation is 5.09. a) Determine the margin of error (i.e. error of the estimate) at 90% confidence. b) Determine and interpret the 90% confidence interval for the true mean travel time. c) Suppose that the bus company claims...

A lawyer commutes daily from his suburban home to his midtown office. The average time for a one-way trip is 25 minutes, with a standard deviation of 4.2 minutes. Assume the distribution of trip times to be normally distributed. If the office opens at 9:00 A.M. and the engineer leaves his house at 8:40 A.M. daily, what percentage of the time is he late for work? If he leaves the house at 8:32 A.M. and coffee is served at the...
