Math Problem Statement
A random sample of 40 college students has a mean earnings of $3120 over the summer months. Assume the population standard deviation of earnings over the summer months for college students is $677 and that the distribution of earnings over the summer months for college students is normally distributed. Determine whether a normal distribution or a t-distribution should be used or whether neither of these can be used to construct a confidence interval.
