c.) United Airlines Flight 433 is a nonstop flight from Boston’s Logan airport to San Francisco International Airport. An important factor in scheduling such flights is the actual airborne flying time from takeoff to touchdown. Suppose the airborne flying time is distributed as normal with mean 370 minutes and standard deviation 16 minutes. 31 records of the times (in minutes) that it takes flight 433 to fly from Boston’s Logan airport to San Francisco International Airport are randomly selected from the 2016 database. What is the sampling distribution of the average airborne flying time?
