55. If you go to a major league baseball game, how long do you expect the game to be? From the 2429 games played in 2001, here is a random sample of 25 times in minutes:
352 150 164 167 225 159 142 182 229 163

This is one of those rare instances in which we can do a con dence interval and compare with the true population mean. The mean of all 2429 lengths is
178.29 (almost three hours).
a. Compute the t-based con dence interval of Section 8.3.
b. Use a normal plot to see if part (a) is valid.
c. Generate a bootstrap sample of 1000 means.
d. Use the standard deviation for part (c) to get a 95% con dence interval for the population mean.
e. Investigate the distribution of the bootstrap means to see if part (d) is valid.
f. Use part (c) to form the 95% con dence interval using the percentile method.
g. Say which interval should be used and explain why. Does your interval include the true value, 178.29?
