1 The times taken by members of a large cycling club to complete a cross-country circuit have a normal distribution with mean \(\mu\) minutes. The times taken, \(x\) minutes, are recorded for a random sample of 14 members of the club. The results are summarised as follows, where \(\bar { x }\) is the sample mean.
$$\bar { x } = 42.8 \quad \sum ( x - \bar { x } ) ^ { 2 } = 941.5$$
Find a 95\% confidence interval for \(\mu\).
