A random sample of 43 observations is used to estimate the population variance. The sample mean and sample standard deviation are calculated as 68.5 and 3.1, respectively. Assume that the population is normally distributed. (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: chi-square table or F table) a. Construct the 95% interval estimate for the population variance. (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answers to 2 decimal places.) Confidence interval to b. Construct...
