The weights of 22 randomly selected mattresses were found to have a standard deviation of 3.17. Construct the 95% confidence interval for the population standard deviation of the weights of all mattresses in this factory. Round your answers to two decimal places.
We have given here,
Sample standard deviation=3.17
Sample size =22
Degree of freedom =n-1=21
Level of significance given =1-0.95=0.05
Chi square critical value for lower tail=10.283
Chi square critical value for upper tail=35.479
We can use here confidence interval formula for population
=(2.44,4.53)
Lower confidence limit for population standard
deviation=2.44
Upper confidence limit for Population standard
deviation=4.53
