In a random sample of twelve people, the mean driving distance to work was 21.3 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 99% confidence interval for the population mean μ. Interpret the results. Identify the margin of error. (Rol square miles miles per hour miles s needed.)
