A biologist interested in estimating the correlation between the body mass (in grams) and body length (in cm) of porcupines has a random sample of 18 porcupines with r = 0.407. The bootstrap distribution she constructed is approximately normal and the standard error is estimated to be 0.165. Use the normal distribution to construct and interpret a 98% confidence interval for the correlation between body mass and body length in porcupines. Round all values to three decimal places.
