Question

Carrots grown in the home garden can have a large variation in weight. This weight is normally distributed. An
independent random sample of eight carrots had the following weights in grams, 100, 20, 25, 15, 50, 25, 30, 15.
Determine the confidence interval (C.I.) for the true standard deviation of the weight at the 90% level of confidence.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
