Chapter 3.4, Problem 10E
In the article “Temperature-Dependent Optical Constants of Water Ice in the Near Infrared: New Results and Critical Review of the Available Measurements” (B. Rajaram, D. Glandorf. et al., Applied Optics, 2001:4449–4462), the imaginary index of refraction of water ice is presented for various frequencies and temperatures. At a frequency of 372.1 cm–1 and a temperature of 166 K, the index is estimated to be 0.00116. At the same frequency and at a temperature of 196 K, the index is estimated to be 0.00129. The uncertainty is reported to be 10–4 for each of these two estimated indices. The ratio of the indices is estimated to be 0.00116/0.00129 = 0.899. Find the uncertainty in this ratio.

17.7 Butterfly wings. Researchers studied the morphological attributes of monarch
butterflies (Danaus plexippus), a species that undertakes large seasonal migrations
over North America. They measured the forewing weight (in milligrams, mg) of
a sample of 92 monarch butterflies, all of which had been reared in captivity in
identical conditions.° Figure 17.4 shows the output from the statistical software
JMP. (The data are also available in the Large.Butterfly the data file if you wish
to practice working with your own software.) Estimate with 95% confidence the
mean forewing weight of monarch butterflies reared in captivity. Follow the four-
step process as illustrated in Example 17.2.
