Example 106.5
Example 106.5: In a paper titled, “The Role of Deliberate Practice in the Acquisition of Expert Performance” researchers estimated that it takes approximately 10,000 hours of deliberate practice to become an expert at something.

Assume the standard deviation is 850 hours, and that we want a 95% confidence level.
