The mean labour productivity (output per worker per hour, in Rand) of a random sample of 26 textile manufacturers that export their products to foreign markets is R180.40 (with a standard deviation of 51.7). Likewise, the mean labour productivity of an independent random sample of 21 textile manufacturers that do not export their production is 159.30 (with a standard deviation of 42.9). Suppose that labour productivity is normally distributed for both types of manufacturing firms. Using this information, the 90% confidence interval for the standard deviation of the labour productivity of non-exporting textile manufacturers is for the lower limit and for the upper limit. (Note: You must write your final answers to 3 decimal places. When writing your answers, use "." (e.g. 3.250) instead of "," (i.e. 3,250) with no spaces between digits).

The mean labour productivity (output per worker per hour, in Rand) of a random sample of 26 textile manufacturers that export their products to foreign markets is R180.40 (with a standard deviation of 51.7). Likewise, the mean labour productivity of an independent random sample of 21 textile manufacturers that do not export their production is 159.30 (with a standard deviation of 42.9). Suppose that labour productivity is
normally distributed for both types of manufacturing firms. Using this information, the 90% confidence interval for the standard deviation of the labour productivity of non-exporting textile manufacturers is for the lower limit and for the upper limit. (Note: You must write your final answers to 3 decimal places. When writing your answers, use "." (e.g. 3.250) instead of "," (i.e. 3,250) with no spaces between digits).
