An atomic absorption method for the determination of the amount of iron present in used jet engine oil was found from pooling 30 triplicate analyses to have a standard deviation s = 3.6 µg Fe/mL. If s is a good estimate of σ, calculate the 95 and 99% confidence intervals for the result 18.5 µg Fe/mL if it was based on

(a) a single analysis,

(b) the mean of two analyses, and

(c) the mean of four analyses.
