40 independent measurements of the boiling point of a certain liquid were found to have a sample average of 950C, and sample variance of 20C. The formula for converting from a Celsius temperature x to a Fahrenheit temperature y is y=9x5+32. Thus, the sample mean and sample variance of the measurements (on the Fahrenheit scale) are, respectively: 203 0F and 38.48 0F 203 0F and 6.48 0F 171 0F and 38.48 0F 171 0F and 2.54 0F 203 0F and...
