Question 3. This is observation from previous years about the impact of students working while they are enrolled in classes, due to students too much work, they are spending less time on their classes.

First, the observer need to find out, on average, how many hours a week students are working. They know from previous studies that the standard deviation of this variable is about 5 hours.

A survey of 200 students provides a sample mean of 7.10 hours worked. What is a 95% confidence interval based on this sample?

This task provides a detailed description on mean, median, mode and standard deviation. the mean and standard deviation is the appropriate measure of central tendency and dispersion respectively when the distribution is normally distributed.Here, the mean is less than the median indicating that the distribution is not normally distributed and hence we can say that median can be used as the appropriate measure of central tendency
