Platelet counts in women (cont): A simple random sample of 30
women is selected. From this sample, the sample standard deviation
is calculated to be s = 65.2 . It is safe to assume the platelet
counts in women are normally distributed. In building a 99%
confidence interval for the population standard deviation platelet
count, we next need to find the critical values. If we are
interested in the standard deviation, we need to find Chi-Square
values using table A-4....
