s = √(Σ(X- x̅ )²/(n-1) ) =0.3775
n=   9
Confidence level=   0.80

Degrees of Freedom,   DF=n-1 =    8
alpha,   α=1-CL=   0.2
alpha/2 ,   α/2=   0.1
Lower Chi-Square Value=   χ²1-α/2 =   3.4895
Upper Chi-Square Value=   χ²α/2 =   13.3616

confidence interval for variance is      
lower bound=   (n-1)s²/χ²α/2 =   0.09
      
      
upper bound=   (n-1)s²/χ²1-α/2 =   0.33
      

confidence interval for std dev is       
lower bound=   √(lower bound variance)=   0.29
      
      
upper bound=   √(upper bound of variance=   0.57
