For a certain drug, based on standards set by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) - an official public standards-setting authority for all prescription and over-the-counter medicines and other health care products manufactured or sold in the United States, a standard deviation of capsule weights of less than 2 mg is acceptable. A sample of 12 capsules was taken and the weights are provided below: 100.7 99.6 98.8 100.3 98.4 101.5 98.8 101 98.6 100.2 100 100.3 The mean of the data set is 99.9; the sample standard deviation is 1.01; if the normality plot is not provided you may assume that the capsule weights are normally distributed. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the variance (standard deviation) of all capsule weight.

The mean of the data set is 99.9; the sample standard deviation is 1.01; if the normality plot is not
provided you may assume that the capsule weights are normally distributed.
Construct a 95% confidence interval for the variance (standard deviation) of all capsule weight.
