a. A typical washing machine has several different cycles, including soak, wash, and rinse. The energy consumption of a washing machine is linked to the length of each cycle. A random sample of 20 washing machines was obtained, and the length (in minutes) for each wash cycle was recorded yielding a sample mean of 37.2 minutes and a sample standard deviation is 4.0 minutes. Assume length of wash cycles is normally distributed. Find and interpret a 92% confidence interval for the true mean wash cycle time.
