Question 1131773: A simple random sample from a population with a normal distribution of 106 body temperatures has x equals 98.90 degrees F and S equals 0.61 degrees Upper F. Construct a 95​% confidence interval estimate of the standard deviation of body temperature of all healthy humans.

the half-interval is t df=105 0.975 *s/sqrt(n)
t=1.98, s=0.61 and n=sqrt(106)
the half-interval is 0.1173 or 0.12
(98.78, 99.02)
