A) False
B) True

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The construction of a confidence interval for a population variance $\sigma^2$ typically assumes that the population from which the sample is drawn follows a normal distribution. This is because the formula for the confidence interval for $\sigma^2$ relies on the chi-square distribution, which is derived under the assumption of normality.
