Question 1 2 / 2 pts (CO6) From a random sample of 55 businesses, it is found that the mean time that employees spend on personal issues each week is 5.8 hours with a standard deviation of 0.35 hours. What is the 95% confidence interval for the amount of time spent on personal issues? (5.74, 5.90) (5.73, 5.87) (5.72, 5.88) Correct!
