Suppose a bill is considered late if it is paid after 20 days.

In this case its "lateness" is the number of days over 20. For example, a bill paid 23 days after billing has a lateness of 3, whereas a bill paid 18 days after billing has a lateness of 0.

•Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean amount of lateness for all customers.

•Find similar confidence intervals for each customer size separately.
