b) Calculate a two-sided 98% confidence interval for true average degree of polymerization. What is the upper limit?

c) Calculate a two-sided 95% confidence interval for true average degree of polymerization (as did the authors of the article).
What is the lower limit of this confidence interval?

d) Calculate a two-sided 95% confidence interval for true average degree of polymerization (as did the authors of the article).
What is the upper limit of this confidence interval?

e) Does the 95% confidence interval suggest that 440 is a plausible value for true average degree of polymerization?

f) Does the 95% confidence interval suggest that 450 is a plausible value?
