6. A nutritionist studied the levels of cholesterol, \(X \mathrm { mg } / \mathrm { cm } ^ { 3 }\), of male students at a large college. She assumed that \(X\) was distributed \(\mathrm { N } \left( \mu , \sigma ^ { 2 } \right)\) and examined a random sample of 25 male students. Using this sample she obtained unbiased estimates of \(\mu\) and \(\sigma ^ { 2 }\) as $$\hat { \mu } = 1.68 , \quad \hat { \sigma } ^ { 2 } = 1.79 .$$

1. Find a 95\% confidence interval for \(\mu\).
2. Obtain a \(95 \%\) confidence interval for \(\sigma ^ { 2 }\). A cholesterol reading of more than \(2.5 \mathrm { mg } / \mathrm { cm } ^ { 3 }\) is regarded as high.
3. Use appropriate confidence limits from parts (a) and (b) to find the lowest estimate of the proportion of male students in the college with high cholesterol.
