Question

Since the Boston marathon began in 1897, the finish time has been incrementally decreasing. The mean finish time to date is 231 minutes with a standard deviation of 40 minutes. Based on this information, what would allow us to use a Z-score in order to construct a confidence interval to estimate the mean finishing time of the most recent Boston Marathon with a sample size of 40 participants. Choose all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer:

hello your question lacks the required options but i will provide a general answer to your question

answer : The mean value  and the standard deviation would allow us use a Z-score

Step-by-step explanation:

mean value = 231 minutes

standard deviation ( std ) = 40 minutes

sample size = 40

The parameters that would be applicable while use Z-score are : The given mean value and the standard deviation

This is because the value of a z-score gives us an information on how far we are from the mean score i.e. number of standard deviations

+Zscore means that the score  is above the average value

-Zscore means that the score is below the average value
