Answer:

A 95% confidence interval for the average commute time of eight people is (29.8 minutes, 40.2 minutes). This confidence interval is calculated using the formula x ± (1.96 * (s/sqrt n)), where x is the sample mean, s is the sample standard deviation, and n is the sample size. In this case, the sample mean is 35 minutes, the sample standard deviation is 7.2 minutes, and the sample size is 8.

Therefore, we can say with 95% confidence that the population mean commute time is between 28.62 minutes and 41.38 minutes.
