Problem 8

A study aims to estimate the variability in weights (in kilograms) of competitive cyclists. The following weights are recorded from a sample of 55 cyclists: 62,65,68,70,7262, 65, 68, 70, 72. Ten bootstrap samples are provided below:

Use the 1010 bootstrap samples to construct an 80%80\% confidence interval estimate of the population standard deviation σ\sigma.
