An image of a computer and a speed gauge.

The proper operation of web-based applications on a phone requires broadband speeds that do not vary much. Listed below are 30 broadband speeds (in Mbps) measured on 30 different days.

136.6143.5116.4134.9151.2
172146.7135.5141.9145.5
145130146.4110.1159.4
150.5142.8149.2119.5175.7
118163.6196.6138.1166
138.7173.2133.9170.2150.4

The mean of the data set is 146.72; the sample standard deviation is 19.406; if the normality plot is not provided you may assume that the broadband speeds are normally distributed.

Construct a 99% confidence interval for the variance (standard deviation) of broadband speed for the service provider.
