Question 1197943: The distribution of study times for first year students follows a Normal distribution with standard deviation = 55 minutes. Suppose a sample of 341 students found that the mean study time for these students was
= 189 minutes per week. Use this to find a 95% confidence interval to estimate the mean study time for all students.
We are 95% confident that the mean study time for first year students is between
______ minutes and _______ minutes.

ME+=+z%2Asigma%2Fsqrt%28n%29
95% confidence interval: z = 1.96
ME+=+1.96%2A55%2Fsqrt%28341%29 = 5.84
189 ± 5.84
We are 95% confident that the mean study time for first year students is between
183.16 minutes and 194.84 minutes.
