Confidence Interval; Margin of Error
Not what you're looking for?
(1) The confidence interval: 5.06 < sigma2 < 23.33 is for the population variance based on the following sample statistics:
n = 25, x-bar = 41.2, and s = 3.1
What is the degree of confidence? Use only integers, no % sign and no decimal places.
(2) Find the margin of error.
95% confidence interval; n = 91 ; x-bar = 55, s = 5.4
Round to the nearest two decimal places.

The confidence interval: 5.06 < sigma2 < 23.33 is for the population variance based on the following sample statistics:
n = 25, x-bar = 41.2, and s = 3.1
What is the degree of confidence? Use only integers, no % sign and no decimal places.
(Points: 3)
The confidence interval for a population variance is calculated as:
(n - 1)s2 ≤ σ2 ≤ (n - 1)s2
X2α/2, n - 1 X21- α/2, n - 1
The X2α/2, n - 1 and the X21- α/2, n - 1 are critical values from the chi-squared distribution. We'll find them in a minute.
From the problem, we know that the left side of the inequality is equal to 5.06 and the ...
