I live in Rapid City and commute to Spearfish. I leave Rapid City by 6 minutes after 8 and get onto I-90 at Exit 52. I must exit I-90 at Exit 12 by no later than 8:50 so that I am not late for class. Normally, I can drive the speed limit and make it on time.

Over the past few years there has been a lot of construction on Interstate 90. For example, last year 4 miles of road was under construction between Mile Marker 26 and 30 (Sturgis). The posted speed limit in the construction zone (single lane -- do not pass) is 55 mph, but I always end up behind someone that is going only 49mph. When I am not in the Construction Zone, what is the minimum speed that I have to drive, so that I can be at Exit 12 by 8:50?

Sam and Kim live in Coquitlam but work in Vancouver. They must commute to their place of work and back home during rush hours. Assume that there are 14 available hours in the day, that their wage rate is $25 per hour, and that they each have nonlabour income of $200 per day. The commute takes 2 hours each way (4 hours a day total), and it costs $80 in expenses for the round trip. 1. Let us say his...

In a random sample of 29 people, the mean commute time to work was 32.5 minutes and the standard deviation was 7.3 minutes. Assume the population is normally distributed and use a ​   t-distribution to construct a 95​% confidence interval for the population mean mu. What is the margin of error of mu​? Interpret the results. Round to one decimal place as needed.
