Question:
An article in Urban Ecosystems. "Urbanization and Warming of Phoenix (Arizona, USA): Impacts, Feedbacks and Mitigation" (2002, Vol. 6, pp. 183-203), mentions that Phoenix is ideal to study the effects of an urban heat island because it has grown from a population of 300,000 to approximately 3 million over the last 50 years and this is a period with a continuous, de- tailed climate record. The 50-year averages of the mean annual temperatures at eight sites in Phoenix are shown below. Check the assumption of normality in the population with a probabil- ity plot. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the standard deviation over the sites of the mean annual temperatures.
