A sociologist is studying various aspects of the personal lives of preeminent 19th century scholars.
Question: To hunt flying insects, bats emit high-frequency sounds and then listen for their echoes. One interesting question is: how far apart are the bat and the insect when the bat first senses that the insect is there? The following table lists bat-to-insect detection distances for 11 catches. Find the 95% confidence interval for μ, the true bat-to-insect detection distance. Is the assumption that the bat-to-insect detection distances are normally distributed tenable?
| Catch Number | Detection distance (cm) |
| 1 | 62 |
| 2 | 52 |
| 3 | 68 |
| 4 | 23 |
| 5 | 34 |
| 6 | 45 |
| 7 | 27 |
| 8 | 42 |
| 9 | 83 |
| 10 | 56 |
| 11 | 40 |
