A city wants to estimate the standard deviation of the time it takes a bus to travel between two stops in a city. To develop an estimate for the standard deviation, the city has collected a random sample of the times required for 18 trips. The sample standard deviation is 4.9 minutes. Based on these data, what is the 95% confidence interval estimate for the true population standard deviation. Ominutes sos minutes (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
