During the days of coronavirus, people work most of the time from home. Many offices, schools, universities conduct their works, meetings, classes online. As a result of this new normal, it is assumed that on average, utility expenses per family (electricity, water, gas etc.) increases by 40% per month.

During the days of coronavirus, people work most of the time from home. Many offices, schools, universities conduct their works, meetings, classes online. As a result of this new normal, it is assumed that on average, utility expenses per family (electricity, water, gas etc.) increases by 40% per month. For the verification of this assumption, four months data of percentage change of utility expenses of 10 families of similar size is given below and answer the following questions, the data is normally distributed:
