- 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.
