Solution :
Given that,
Point estimate = s2 = 15.40
n = 25
Degrees of freedom = df = n - 1 = 25 - 1 = 24
At 95% confidence level the 2 value is ,
= 1 - 95% = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05
/ 2 = 0.05 / 2 = 0.025
1 - / 2 = 1 - 0.025 = 0.975
2L = 2/2,df = 39.364
2R = 21 - /2,df = 12.401
The 95% confidence interval for 2 is,
(n - 1)s2 / 2/2 < 2 < (n - 1)s2 / 21 - /2
(24) (15.40) / 39.364 < 2 < (24)(15.40) / 12.401
9.39 < 2 < 29.80
(9.39 , 29.80)
s2 = 15.40
n = 25
Degrees of freedom = df = n - 1 = 25 - 1 = 24
At 95% confidence level the 2 value is ,
= 1 - 95% = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05
/ 2 = 0.05 / 2 = 0.025
1 - / 2 = 1 - 0.025 = 0.975
2L = 2/2,df = 39.364
2R = 21 - /2,df = 12.401
The 95% confidence interval for is,
(n - 1)s2 / 2/2 < < (n - 1)s2 / 21 - /2
(24)(15.40) / 39.364 < < (24)(15.40) / 12.401
3.06 < < 5.46
