The sample correlation coefficient between length and weight of a species of frog was determined at each of a number of sites. The results were as follows: 

Site 1 Number of frogs 12 Correlation 2 45 3 23 4 19 0.631 0.712 0.445 0.696 5 30 0.535

Find an interval in which you are 95% sure that the correlation coefficient lies.
