About 100 years ago, physicists were working to determine the speed of light. The results of 25 independent measurements gave an average of 299.796 million meters/second with a standard deviation of 0.004 million meters/second. Assume the distribution of measurements was not strongly skewed.
What type of inference is most appropriate given the goal of the research?
A.Hypothesis test
B.Confidence interval
C.No inference is needed
