Question 153

Multiple Choice

Use the given degree of confidence and sample data to find a confidence interval for the population standard deviation σ.
Assume that the population has a normal distribution. Round the confidence interval limits to the same number of decimal places as the sample standard deviation.
-The mean replacement time for a random sample of 20 washing machines is 10.9 years and the standard deviation is 2.7 years. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the standard deviation, σ, of the replacement Times of all washing machines of this type.
