In a random sample of 26 people, the mean commute time to work was 34.6 minutes and the standard deviation was 7.2 minutes. Assume the population is normally distributed and use a t-distribution to construct a 80% confidence interval for the population mean u. What is the margin of error of u? Interpret the results. The confidence interval for the population mean u is (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

The distribution of study times for first year students follows a Normal distribution with standard deviation σσ = 54 minutes. Suppose a sample of 487 students found that the mean study time for these students was x¯x¯= 173 minutes per week. Use this to find a 88.28% confidence interval to estimate the mean study time for all students. We are 88.28% confident that the mean study time for first year students is between minutes_____ and ____ minutes. What is the margin of error for your confidence interval?
