Question
8.2 Suppose average pizza delivery times are normally distributed with an unknown population mean and a population standard deviation of six minutes. A random sample of 28 pizza delivery restaurants is taken and has a sample mean delivery time of 36 minutes.

Find a 90% confidence interval estimate for the population mean delivery time.

Solution A

Identify values to plug into the formula \( \bar{x} \pm \left( z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} \right) \left( \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} \right) \)

Write solution first as \( \bar{x} \pm EBM: \) _____________________________

Write solution in interval notation: ( ___________ , ___________ )

Solution B
