Since the Boston marathon began in 1897, the finish time has been incrementally decreasing. The mean finish time to date is 231 minutes with a standard deviation of 40 minutes. Based on this information, what would allow us to use a Z-score in order to construct a confidence interval to estimate the mean finishing time of the most recent Boston Marathon with a sample size of 40 participants. Choose all that apply.

hello your question lacks the required options but i will provide a general answer to your question

answer : The mean value  and the standard deviation would allow us use a Z-score

Step-by-step explanation:

mean value = 231 minutes

standard deviation ( std ) = 40 minutes

sample size = 40

The parameters that would be applicable while use Z-score are : The given mean value and the standard deviation

This is because the value of a z-score gives us an information on how far we are from the mean score i.e. number of standard deviations

+Zscore means that the score  is above the average value

-Zscore means that the score is below the average value

the data of the detroit pistons in numerical order from least to greatest is 0.30, 0.37, 0.55, 0.62, 0.69, 0.72, 0.73, 0.75, 0.77, 0.78, 0.80, 0.81, 0.81, 0.83, 0.84, 0.89

the data of the miami heat in numerical order from least to greatest is 0.50, 0.50, 0.56, 0.57, 0.67, 0.72, 0.72, 0.72, 0.75, 0.75, 0.76, 0.81, 0.82, 0.90, 1.00, 1.00

the detroit pistons median : 1.52

the miami heat median: 1.47

the iqr of this data is 0.05

3 is greater then both of those numbers
