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 90% confidence; n=23, s=65.2.
Can you please simplify the solution so i can do the rest on my own.
Thank you!
Solution :
Given that,
s = 65.2
s2 = 4251.04
n = 23
df = 23 - 1= 22
2L
=
2
/2,df
= 33.924
2R
=
21 -
/2,df = 12.338
The 90% confidence interval for
is,
(n
- 1)s2 /
2
/2
<
<
(n - 1)s2 /
21 -
/2
22
* 4251.04 / <
<
22 * 4251.04 /
52.5053 <
< 87.0636
(52.5053 , 87.0636)
