Concept explainers
In Exercise 8.81, we gave the carapace lengths of ten mature Thenus orientalis lobsters caught in the seas in the vicinity of Singapore. For your convenience, the data are reproduced here. Suppose that you wished to describe the variability of the carapace lengths of this population of lobsters. Find a 90% confidence interval for the population variance
8.81 The carapace lengths of ten lobsters examined in a study of the infestation of the Thenus orientalis lobster by two types of barnacles, Octolasmis tridens and O. lowei, are given in the following table. Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean carapace length (in millimeters, mm) of T. orientalis lobsters caught in the seas in the vicinity of Singapore.13
