In a certain science experiment, it was required to estimate the nitrogen
content of the blood plasma of a certain colony of rats at their 37th day of age.
A sample of 9 rats was taken at random and the following data was obtained
(grams per 100cc of plasma):
0.98, 0.83, 0.99, 0.86, 0.90, 0.81, 0.94, 0.92, and 0.87.
Find the estimates for the average content and the variation in nitrogen
content in the colony.
