(b) Give a 90% confidence interval for the median of the product and explain your reasoning; it need not be exact. (c) What is the mode of the product, and how does knowing it change your interval? (d) Narrow your interval to a width of 5 and use it as your opening market. The interviewer trades with you for four rounds and you update the market after each one; then work out your profit or loss.
