Use the given information to find the number of degrees of freedom, the critical values chi Subscript Upper L Superscript 2 and chi Subscript Upper R Superscript 2, and the confidence interval estimate of sigma. It is reasonable to assume that a simple random sample has been selected from a population with a normal distribution. Platelet Counts of Women 99% confidence; nequals26, sequals65.1.
We have given here,
Sample standard deviation=65.1
Sample size =26
Degree of freedom =n-1= 25
Level of significance given =1-0.99=0.01
Chi square critical value for lower tail=10.52
Chi square critical value for upper tail=46.928
We can use here confidence interval formula for population standard
deviation
=(47.52,100.36)
Lower confidence limit for population standard
deviation=47.52
Upper confidence limit for Population standard
deviation=100.36
