"A large candy manufacturer produces, packages and sells packs of candy targeted to weigh 52 grams. A quality control manager working for the company was concerned that the variation in the actual weights of the targeted 52-gram packs was larger than acceptable. That is, he was concerned that some packs weighed significantly less than 52-grams and some weighed significantly more than 52 grams. In an attempt to estimate the variance of the weights of all of the 52-gram packs the manufacturer makes, he took a random sample of n = 20 packs off of the factory line. The random sample yielded a sample variance of 3.5 grams. Use 90% confidence level. What is the confidence interval for the variance of the weight of the candy?"
