Question:

(a) Use the asymptotic normality of chi square random variables (see Question 7.3.6) to derive large-sample confidence interval formulas for σ and σ².

(b) Use your answer to part (a) to construct an approximate 95% confidence interval for the standard deviation of estimated potassium-argon ages based on the 19 y_i’s in Table 7.5.1. How does this confidence interval compare with the one in Case Study 7.5.1?
