Answer:
Yes, because the upper limit is less Than 8 minutes
Explanation:
According to the empirical formula :
68.26% of data lies within 1 standard deviation from the mean;
Hence,
Mean ± 1(standard deviation)
The sample mean and sample standard deviation of the given data is :
Sample mean, xbar = Σx / n = 546 / 100 = 5.46
Sample standard deviation, s = 2.475 (Calculator)
The interval which lies within 68.26% (1 standard deviation is) ;
Lower = (5.460 - 2.475) = 2.985
Upper = (5.460 + 2.475) = 7.935
(2.985 ; 7.935)
Since the interval falls within ; (2.985 ; 7.935) whose upper level is less than 8 means patients will have to wait less Than 8 minutes.
