  • A 99% confidence interval for the variance of orange candies
  • A 90% confidence interval for the standard deviation of the total number of candies.

Hint: The Excel functions confidence.norm() and confidence.T() can be used to find the margin of error quite easily. Also, you might want to use the following calculators in Statcrunch:

  • Stat- > Z Statistics -> One Sample
  • Stat -> T Statistics -> One Sample
  • Stat -> Proportion Statistics -> One Sample
  • Stat -> Variance Statistics -> One Sample
