In Exercises 5–8, use the relatively small number of given bootstrap samples to construct the confidence interval.
8. Cell Phone Radiation Here is a sample of measured radiation emissions (cW/kg) for cell phones (based on data from the Environmental Working Group): 38, 55, 86, 145. Here are ten bootstrap samples: {38, 145, 55, 86}, {86, 38, 145, 145}, {145, 86, 55, 55}, {55, 55, 55, 145}, {86, 86, 55, 55}, {38, 38, 86, 86}, {145, 38, 86, 55}, {55, 86, 86, 86}, {145, 86, 55, 86}, {38, 145, 86, 55}.
a. Using only the ten given bootstrap samples, construct an 80% confidence
b. Using only the ten given bootstrap samples, construct an 80% confidence interval estimate of the population standard deviation.
