### Comparing Waiting Times at Two Banks

The following data represents waiting times (in minutes) for customers at two different banks.

#### Bank A
- Waiting times: 6.3, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, 7.1, 7.2, 7.5, 7.9, 7.9, 7.9

#### Bank B
- Waiting times: 4.3, 5.4, 5.8, 6.1, 6.7, 7.6, 7.6, 8.4, 9.3, 10.0

**Setup:**
- At Bank A: Customers join a single line that feeds three teller windows.
- At Bank B: Customers can choose from three separate lines, each leading to one of the three teller windows.

**Analysis Task:**
- Construct a 99% confidence interval for the population standard deviation (\(\sigma\)) at Bank A.

**Instructions:**
- Use the Chi-Square critical values table to help determine the interval.
- Enter the confidence interval in the format: \(\text{min} < \sigma_{\text{Bank A}} < \text{min}\)
- Round your answers to two decimal places.
