Problem 7

The number of defective light bulbs found in 1010 randomly selected shipments had a sample standard deviation of 4.24.2 bulbs. Assume the number of defects follows a normal distribution. Using an 80%80\% confidence level, construct a confidence interval for the population standard deviation (σ\sigma^{}). Also, interpret the results.
