 INSTRUCTIONS: First, download the Excel Project 2 Data file from Canvas. The data is also available in csv format in case you wish to use a software other than Excel. All solutions must be typed into the Word document. Please submit the Word doc with your solutions, not the Excel sheet that you use to do the computations. Use Excel to give you the solutions to numbers 1 & 2, only. No handwritten solutions accepted. 
 DATA SET: A random sample of marathon training times, in minutes, for 30 female marathon runners. 1. Excel: Find a point estimate for the mean marathon training time of female runners. (1pt)
 2. Excel: Find the standard deviation of the sample of marathon training times of female runners. (1pt)
 3. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean training time for women. Be sure to show the margin of error computation. (2pts)
 4. Interpret your results from #3 above. (2pts)
 5. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean training time for women. Be sure to show the margin of error computation. (2pts)
 6. Interpret your results from #5 above. (2pts)
 7. Which confidence interval is wider and why? (2pts)
 8. Determine the minimum sample size needed to create a 95% confidence interval such that the sample mean is within 1.5 minutes of the population mean. Assume the population standard deviation is the same as the sample standard deviation you found in #2. (2pts)

3)
critical value, t(a/2,n-1) = t(0.1/2,30-1) = 1.699
ME = t(a/2,n-1)*(sd/sqrt(n))        
ME = 1.699*(
7.9002/sqrt(30)) = 2.451
CI = mean +- ME
lower    = 189 - 2.451 = 186.55
upper    = 189 + 2.451 = 191.45
