Let
n = number of data
s = standard deviation (sample)
S = standard deviation (population)

The working equations is

\frac{(n-1) s^{2} }{ x^{2}_{right} }  \ \textless \   S^{2} \ \textless \   \frac{(n-1) s^{2} }{ x^{2}_{left} }

To find x^{2}_{right}, : (1 - 0.90)/2 = 0.05

To find x^{2}_{left}, : 1 - 0.05 = 0.95

Degrees of freedom = n-1 = 24 - 1 = 23

This is shown in the figure attached. Since there is no row for df=23, we interpolate. Thus,

 x^{2}_{left} = 13.093 

 x^{2}_{right} = 35.17 


Substitute all values,

\frac{(24-1) 5.6^{2} }{ 35.17} \ \textless \ S^{2} \ \textless \ \frac{(24-1)  5.6^{2} }{ 13.093} }

Thus the answer is,

20.51\  \textless \ S^{2} \ \textless \ 55.09

You want to put $2,500 in a simple interest account.It has a 4% annual interest rate.How long will it take you to earn $200 in i
prohojiy [21]
It will take 2 years.

Year 1 :
4% 2.5k = 2.5k/100 × 4 = $100 in interest

$2.5k + $0.1k = $2.6k

Year 2 :
4% 2.6k = 2.6k/100 × 4 = $104 in interest

$100 + $104 = $204 > $200

There may be a simpler way to solve this using a formula for example, but I just solved this step by step. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions
