mean = 3797, sd = 353.051775
sample of 10 cartridges (small ample size)
95 percent confidence interval for the population mean
critical t-value = 2.26
ME = 2.26(353/sqrt(10)) = 252.28
CI: 3797 - ME < u < 3797 + ME
CI: 3797 - 252.28 < u < 3797 + 252.28
CI: (3545, 4049)
........Small sample critical values:

2	2.92	4.3	9.93	31.6
