A random sample of 25 Apple (the company) customers who call AppleCare Support line had an average (X bar) wait time of 187 secondswith a sample standard deviation (s) of50 seconds. The goal is to construct a 90% confidence interval forthe average (μ) wait time of all Apple customers who call forsupport.

1) The standard error (SE) of X bar is

a. 2

b. 10

c. 50

d. 37.4

2) The critical value (CV) needed for 90% confidence intervalestimation is

Select one:

a. 1.28

b. 0.05

c. 1.71

d. 0.1

3) The 90% confidence interval estimate of μ is

Select one:

a. 187 ± 10

b. 187 ± 17.1

c. 187 ± 12.82

d. 187 ± 50
