Radon exposure in Egyptian tombs. Refer to the Radiation Protection Dosimetry (Dec. 2010) study of radon exposure in tombs carved from limestone in the Egyptian Valley of Kings, Exercise 7.39 (p. 362). The radon levels in the inner chambers of a sample of 12 tombs were determined, yielding LO6 the following summary statistics: x = 3,643 Bq>m3 and s = 4,487 Bq>m3. Use this information to estimate, with 95% confidence, the true standard deviation of radon levels in tombs in the Valley of Kings. Interpret the resulting interval. Be sure to give the units of measurement in your interpretation.

true standard deviation in molar depths for the population of cheek teeth in extinct primates using a 95% confidence interval. Give a practical interpretation of the result. Are the conditions required for a valid confidence interval reasonably satisfied?
