a. In a random sample of five ​people, the mean driving distanceto work was 24.2 miles and the standard deviation was 7.3 miles.Assume the population is normally distributed and use the​t-distribution to find the margin of error and construct a 90​%confidence interval for the population mean μ. Interpret theresults.
b. In a sample of 12 randomly selected highschool​ seniors, the mean score on a standardized testwas 1177 and the standard deviationwas 165.2. Further research suggests that the populationmean score on this test for high school seniorsis 1014. Does the​ t-value for the original samplefall between −t0.90 and t0.90​? Assume that thepopulation of test scores for high school seniors is normallydistributed.
