Question

The built-in data set, rock, is a data frame recording the measurements of rock sample from a petroleum reservoir. We are interested in the area column of rock. Using R we can convert this column into the vector x by the assignment x<-rock$shape. Assume that the n area measurements x=(x1, x2,...,xn) are a random sample from a population with true unknown mean ? and true unknown variance ?2. Remember, let x be defined by

x<-rock$shape.
