I'm needing assistance with calculating the Chi-Squared upper and lower bounds. I'm working on an example in which I am trying to find a 95% confidence interval estimate for a population variance and this is what the example states:

Find the chi-squared upper and lower bounds, X²_{6, .025} =12.832 (this is the upper bound) and X²_{6, .975} = .0831 (this is the lower bound) with 5 (=6-1) degrees of freedom (because remember, the degrees of freedom is “n-1”). Also, we want an area of .025 ABOVE our upper value and an area of .975 ABOVE our lower value because we want a 95% confidence interval…so we want to cover 95% of the area.

I'm not understanding where the .025 and the .975 came from. Can I please have assistance in how to calculate these bounds?

Thanks!

Solution :

Given that,

n = 6

Degrees of freedom = df = n - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5

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

Upper bound = ²_L = ²_/2,df = 12.832

Upper bound = ²_R = ²_{1 -} _/2,df = 0.831

I'm working on a resource activity plan and a budget for a project proposal. I'm needing help with the resource activity plan and the budget. The project proposal is for a Walmart in my state. The store manager is the one that does all the scheduling for 340 employees. The budget for the project is 1,000,000 million dollars. The idea proposed is getting a group of eight assistant managers to come together to make schedules for the employees. Each assistant...

Give asymptotic upper and lower bounds for T(n). Assume that T(n) is constant for n <= 2. Make your bounds as tight as possible, and justify your answers. T(n) = T(n-2) + n^2

Give upper and lower bounds for T(n) in the following recurrence: T(n) = 3T(n/4) + n

I'm working on python code which is substring matching. For example, the given string is input "CTTGTGATCTCGTGTCGTGGGTAG", and a substring we want to find in the main one is "GTGG". So the code will print out the position and the substrings in the main which has exactly one different position. For example, start at position 4 the substring is GTGA since there is only one letter different, and so on. Even though we know that string index starts at 0,...
