    A random sample of 40 college students has a mean earnings of $3120 with a standard deviation of $677 over the summer months. Determine whether a normal distribution or a t-distribution should be used or whether neither of these can be used to construct a confidence interval

    Are you having us do your statistics homework, ndugu?  I struggled thru this course years ago and probably will continue to struggle today.


     


    Nonetheless, if you have the mean & standard deviation, you should be able to construct a normal distribution.  What you are saying here is:  How confident are we that, say, 90% of the college students' earnings to be $3120, plus or minus the standard deviation of $677.


     


    I would say Normal Distribution but I would pray like hell tonight and hope the teacher's sick tomorrow.
