A company produces a women's bowling ball that is supposed to weigh exactly 14 pounds. Unfortunately, the company has a problem with the variability of the weight. In a sample of 14 of the bowling balls the sample standard deviation was found to be 0.52 pounds. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the variance of the bowling ball weight.
