Step 1 :Given that the sample standard deviation is $3634 and the sample size is 13, we can use the chi-square distribution to construct the confidence interval for the variance.
Step 2 :The degrees of freedom will be the sample size minus 1, which is 12.
Step 3 :The formula for the confidence interval for the variance is: \(\left(\frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{\alpha/2, n-1}}, \frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{1-\alpha/2, n-1}}\right)\), where n is the sample size, s is the sample standard deviation, and \(\chi^2_{\alpha/2, n-1}\) and \(\chi^2_{1-\alpha/2, n-1}\) are the chi-square values for the given confidence level and degrees of freedom.
Step 4 :Substituting the given values into the formula, we get the confidence interval for the variance as \(\left(\frac{(13-1)3634^2}{\chi^2_{0.025, 12}}, \frac{(13-1)3634^2}{\chi^2_{0.975, 12}}\right)\), which simplifies to \(\boxed{(6790665, 35985259)}\).
Step 5 :For the standard deviation, we simply take the square root of the variance interval. This gives us the confidence interval for the standard deviation as \(\boxed{(2606, 5999)}\).
Step 6 :This means that we are 95% confident that the true population variance lies between 6790665 and 35985259, and the true population standard deviation lies between 2606 and 5999.
