Provide an Appropriate Response σ\sigma Or σ2\sigma ^ { 2 } , a Table Is Used to Find the Critical Values

Question 161

Multiple Choice

Provide an appropriate response.
-In constructing a confidence interval for σ\sigma or σ2\sigma ^ { 2 } , a table is used to find the critical values χL2\chi _ { L } ^ { 2 } and χR2\chi _ { R } ^ { 2 } for values of n101\mathrm { n } \leq 101 . For larger values of n,χL2n , \chi _ { L } ^ { 2 } and χ2R\chi \frac { 2 } { \mathrm { R } } can be approximated by using the following formula: χ2=\chi ^ { 2 } = 12[±zα/2+2k1]2\frac { 1 } { 2 } \left[ \pm \mathrm { z } _ { \alpha / 2 } + \sqrt { 2 \mathrm { k } - 1 } \right] ^ { 2 } where k\mathrm { k } is the number of degrees of freedom and zα/2\mathrm { z } _ { \alpha / 2 } is the critical z\mathrm { z } score. Estimate the critical values xL2x _ { L } ^ { 2 } and xR2x _ { R } ^ { 2 } for a situation in which you wish to construct a 95%95 \% confidence interval for σ\sigma and in which the sample size is n=232n = 232 .


A) χL2190.338,χR2274.504\chi _ { L } ^ { 2 } \approx 190.338 , \chi _ { R } ^ { 2 } \approx 274.504
B) χL2191.247,χR2275.595\chi _ { L } ^ { 2 } \approx 191.247 , \chi _ { R } ^ { 2 } \approx 275.595
C) χL2196.533,χR2267.173\chi _ { L } ^ { 2 } \approx 196.533 , \chi _ { \mathrm { R } } ^ { 2 } \approx 267.173
D) χ2L197.457,χ2R268.249\chi \underset { L } { 2 } \approx 197.457 , \chi \underset { R } { 2 } \approx 268.249
