suppose that a garage samples 20 customer they find that the standard deviation is 1234. Find a 90% confidence interval of true standard deviation. Which formula wold you use for X2 Left & X2 Right.
Solution :
Given that,
s = 1234
df = 19
Using chi square table,
2R = 2/2,df = 30.144
2L = 21 - /2,df = 10.117
The 90% confidence interval for is,
(n - 1)s2 / 2/2 < < (n - 1)s2 / 21 - /2
19 * 12342 / 30.144 < < 19 * 12342 / 10.117
979.7041 < < 1691.0864
(979.7041 , 1691.0864)
