Your answer is CORRECT.
This is a written question, worth 9 points. DO NOT place the problem code on the answer sheet. A
proctor will fill this out after exam submission. Show all steps (work) on your answer sheet for full
credit.
Problem Code: 1561
The amount of lateral expansion (in mils) was determined for a sample of
n
= 9 pulsed-power gas metal
arc welds used in LNG ship containment tanks. The resulting sample standard deviation was s = 2.83
mils. Assuming normality, derive a 95% confidence interval for
σ
, the population standard deviation.
(Hint: You will first need to come up with a 95% confidence interval for the variance)
a)
I have placed my work and my answer on my answer sheet.
b)
I want to have points deducted from my test for not working this problem.

Consumer Reports rated 77 cereals on a scale of 0 to 100. The number of grams of sugar contained in
each serving of the corresponding cereals was also recorded. Using sugar as the explanatory variable and
the Consumer Reports rating as the dependent variable, computer output of the data is as follows (the p-
