3. A topic of interest in ophthalmology is whether
or not spherical refraction differs between the left
and right eye on average. In a study to investigate
this, refraction was measured on the left and right
eye of 17 patients. The differences (right-left) in
diopters were d1,d2… d17 and elementary
calculations gave σ17 𝑑
𝑖=1 𝑖 = −3.50 and σ17 2
𝑖=1 𝑖 =
