Question
A national air traffic control system handled an average of

flights per day. Complete parts a through c below.

Part 1
a. Construct
a
99​%
confidence interval to estimate the average number of flights per day handled by the system.
 
The
99​%
confidence interval to estimate the average number of flights per day handled by the system is from a lower limit of

to an upper limit of

​(Round to the nearest whole​ numbers.)
Part 2
b. Suppose an airline company claimed that the national air traffic control system handles an average of​ 50,000 flights per day. Do the results from this sample validate the airline​ company's claim?
 
 
A.
Since the
99​%
confidence interval does not contain​ 50,000, it can be said with
99​%
confidence that the sample validates the airline​ company's claim.
 
B.
Since the
99​%
confidence interval contains​ 50,000, it can be said with
99​%
confidence that the sample validates the airline​ company's claim.
 
C.
Since the
99​%
confidence interval does not contain​ 50,000, it cannot be said with
99​%
confidence that the sample validates the airline​ company's claim.
 
D.
Since the
99​%
confidence interval contains​ 50,000, it cannot be said with
99​%
confidence that the sample validates the airline​ company's claim.
Part 3
c. What assumptions need to be made about this​ population?
 
 
A.
Since the sample size is not greater than or equal to​ 30, one needs to assume that the population follows the​ Student's t-distribution.
 
B.
Since the sample size is not greater than or equal to​ 30, one needs to assume that the population distribution is skewed to one side.
 
C.
Since the sample size is not greater than or equal to​ 30, one needs to assume that the population follows the normal probability distribution.
 
D.
Since the sample size is not greater than or equal to​ 30, one needs to assume that the population distribution is not very skewed to one side.
