With reference to Example 20, Chapter 7, construct a 95% confidence interval for the true standard deviation of the lead content.

Data From Example 20

EXAMPLE 20 At test of a normal population mean Scientists need to be able to detect small amounts of contaminants in the environ- ment. As a check on current capabilities, measurements of lead content(g/L) are taken from twelve water specimens spiked with a known concentration.

As a preliminary step we calculate x = 2.483 and s = 0.3129.
