Travel time data is collected on an arterial. With 30 runs, an average travel time of 152 seconds is computed over the 2.0 miles length, with a computed standard deviation of 17.3 seconds. Required:
a. Compute 95% confidence bounds on your estimate of the mean.
b. Was it necessary to make any assumption about the shape of the travel-time distribution?

a

 The 95% confidence bounds is  

b

It was not necessary to make any assumption about the shape of the travel  time distribution

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

 The sample size is  n =  30  

  The sample mean  is  

   The standard deviation is  

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

=>  

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of   is  

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

=>    

=>      

Generally 95% confidence bounds  is mathematically represented as  

=>  

=>

This 95% confidence bounds show that there is 95% confidence that the true mean lies within this bound hence there is it was not necessary to make any assumption about the shape of the travel  time distribution
