4. In a sample of 7 cars, each car was tested for nitrogen-oxide emissions and the following results were obtained: 0.06, 0.11, 0.16, 0.15, 0.14, 0.08, 0.15. Assuming that the sample is representative of all cars in use and that they are normally distributed, construct a 98% confidence interval estimate for the mean amount of nitrogen-oxide emission for all cars.

Question

4. In a sample of 7 cars, each car was tested for nitrogen-oxide emissions and the following results were obtained: 0.06, 0.11, 0.16, 0.15, 0.14, 0.08, 0.15. Assuming that the sample is representative of all cars in use and that they are normally distributed, construct a 98% confidence interval estimate for the mean amount of nitrogen-oxide emission for all cars. 

5. Use the sample data from #4 to construct a 98% confidence interval estimate for the standard deviation of the amount nitrogen-oxide emission for all cars.
