The subterranean coruro (Spalacopus cyanus) is a social rodent that lives in large colonies in underground burrows that can reach lengths of up to 600 meters. Zoologists S. Begall and M. Gallardo studied the characteristics of the burrow systems of the subterranean coruro in central Chile and published their findings in the paper "Spalacopus cyanus (Rodentia: Octodontidae): An Extremist in Tunnel Constructing and Food Storing among Subterranean Mammals" (Journal of Zoology, Vol. 251, pp. 53-60). A sample of 51 burrows had the depths, in centimeters (cm), presented on theWeissStats CD. Use the technology of your choice to do the following.
a. Obtain a normal probability plot, boxplot, histogram, and stem-and-leaf diagram of the data.
b. Based on your results from part (a), can you reasonably apply the t-interval procedure to the data? Explain your reasoning.
c. Find and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the mean depth of all subterranean coruro burrows.
