The waiting time (as defined as the time the customer enter the line until he or she is served) of all customers during this hour is recorded over a period of 1 week.

a) Find the sample mean (X) and sample standard deviation (S).
b) Find standard error of the estimator (X). i.e. Standard deviation of X.
c) Set up 95% confidence interval for estimating the average waiting time during peak hour.
d) Interpret the results of part (c) and what are the underlying assumptions that must hold in order to perform the in part (c)?
