-l ,. A study was done to determine the average commute time per week to and from class for an SPC
student attending a lecture class. For convenience, a sample of 60 students was taken by randomly
selecting a lecture class on the Gibbs campus (30 students), and also a lecture class on the Clearwater
campus (30 students). The students selected for the sample were then asked where they were
commuting from, when, and how often. The information was then entered into a GPS system in order
to obtain estimated commuting times.
