- Many ancient tombs were cut from limestone rock that contained uranium. Since most such tombs are not well-ventilated, they may contain radon gas. In one study, the radon levels in a sample of 12 tombs in a particular region were measured in becquerels per cubic meter (Bq / m). For this data, assume that x = 3,688 Bq / m° and s = 1,218 Bq/m. Use this information to estimate, with 95% confidence, the true mean level of radon exposure in tombs in the region. Interpret the resulting interval. Assume that the sampled population is approximately normal. The confidence interval is ( D (Round to the nearest integer as needed.)arrow_forwardA professor in a university polled a dozen colleagues about the number of professional meetings they attended in the past five years (x) and the number of papers they submitted to refereed journals (y) during the same period.
