Problem 2

The distribution of the time to complete a vehicle safety inspection is skewed to the right. Records show the mean inspection time is 9.89.8 minutes with a standard deviation of 4.14.1 minutes. What sample size is commonly required so that the sampling distribution of the sample mean can be approximated by a normal distribution for probability calculations?
