Forearm Length. In 1903, K. Pearson and A. Lee published the paper “On the Laws of Inheritance in Man. I. Inheritance of Physical Characters” (Biometrika, Vol. 2, pp. 357–462). The article examined and presented data on forearm length, in inches, for a sample of 140 men, which we have provided on the WeissStats site. Use the technology of your choice to do the following.
a. Obtain a normal probability plot, boxplot, and histogram of the data.
b. Is it reasonable to apply the t-interval procedure to the data? Explain your answer.
c. If you answered “yes” to part (b), find a 95% confidence interval for the mean forearm length of men. Interpret your result.
