The average height of students at uh from an srs of 19 students gave a standard deviation of 3. 2 feet. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the standard deviation of the height of students at uh. Assume normality for the data.

Respuesta :

The 95% confidence interval for the standard deviation of the height of students at UH is given by; CI = (1.81, 4.03)

How to find the confidence interval for standard deviation?

The formula for the confidence interval for the standard deviation is given by the formula;

CI = √[(n - 1)s²/(χ²ₙ ₋ ₁, α/2)], √[(n - 1)s²/(χ²ₙ ₋ ₁, (1 - α)/2)]

We are given;

Sample size; n = 19

D F = n - 1 = 19 - 1 = 18

Standard Deviation; s = 3.2

Confidence Level; CL = 95% = 0.95

Significance level; α = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

Thus, using Chi-square distribution table online we have;

χ²₁₃, ₀.₀₂₅  = 24.736

(χ²₁₃, ₀.₉₇₅) = 5.01

Now, the 95% confidence interval for the standard deviation of the height of students at UH is given by :-

CI = √[(18 * 3.2²/(24.736)], √[(18 * 3.2²/(5.01)]

CI = (1.81, 4.03)
