Answer:

\chi^2_{\alpha/2}=43.195

\chi^2_{1- \alpha/2}=14.573

b. 14.573 and 43.195.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population mean or variance lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

The Chi square distribution is the distribution of the sum of squared standard normal deviates .

2) Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the population variance is given by the following formula:

\frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{\alpha/2}} \leq \sigma^2 \leq \frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{1-\alpha/2}}

We need on this case to calculate the critical values. First we need to calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

df=n-1=28-1=27

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table for the Chis square distribution with 27 degrees of freedom to find the critical values. We need a value that accumulates 0.025 of the area on the left tail and 0.025 of the area on the right tail.  

The excel commands would be: "=CHISQ.INV(0.025,27)" "=CHISQ.INV(0.975,27)". so for this case the critical values are:

\chi^2_{\alpha/2}=43.195

\chi^2_{1- \alpha/2}=14.573

b. 14.573 and 43.195.

36 in the ratio of 2:3:4
Viefleur [7K]
The ratio of three numbers are 2:3:4.

Let the rational between the three numbers be x, hence the three numbers be 2x, 3x,and 4x.


If their average is 36, what are the numbers

We know the average = sum of the numbers / no. Of numbers.

(2x+3x+4x) /3=36

9x/ 3= 36

3x =36

X= 36/ 3

X= 12

The rational is 12

Answer the three number are 24, 36, and 48.

16 students are percussionist which is 20% of the students how many students are in band
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

80 Students are in the band class

Step-by-step explanation:

I did this mentally so sorry if it is bad

16 = 20%

+

16 = 20%

= 40% 32 students

40% +40% = 80%

32+ 32 = 64

80+20%

64+16

80 Students are in the band class
