A chemist made six independent measurements of the sublimation point of carbon dioxide (the temperature at which it changes to dry ice). She obtained a sample mean of 196.64 K with a standard deviation of 0.70 K. NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. Use the Student's t distribution to find a 98% confidence interval for the sublimation point of carbon dioxide. (Round the final answers to two decimal places.) The 98% confidence interval is ( ____ , ____ ).

A chemist made six independent measurements of the sublimation point of carbon dioxide (the temperature at which it changes to dry ice). She obtained a sample mean of 196.64 K with a standard deviation of 0.68 K. a) Use the Student's t distribution to find a 95% confidence interval for the sublimation point of carbon dioxide. b) Use the Student's t distribution to find a 98% confidence interval for the sublimation point of carbon dioxide. c) If the six measurements had been 196.35, 196.32, 196.4 198.02, 196.36, 196.39, would the confidence intervals above be valid? Explain.

8. A chemist made six independent measurements of the sublimation point of carbon dioxide (the temperature at which it changes to dry ice). She obtained a sample mean of 196.64 K with a standard deviation of 0.68 K. a. Use the Student's t distribution to find a 95% confidence interval for the sublimation point of carbon dioxide. b. Use the Student's t distribution to find a 98% confidence interval for the sublimation point of carbon dioxide. c. If the six measurements had been 196.35, 196.32, 196.4 198.02, 196.36, 196.39, would the confidence intervals above be valid? Explain.
