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

Answer:

1) \frac{1}{2^7} ; 2) 11^7

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Using the Power of a Fraction Rule (\frac{a}{b} )^x = (\frac{a^x}{b^x} ),

(\frac{1}{2} )^7 = (\frac{1^7}{2^7} ), which can just be simplified to \frac{1}{2^7}.

2) Using the Negative Exponent Rule, a^{-x}  = \frac{1}{a^{x}},

(\frac{1}{11} )^{-7} = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{11^7}}, which can be simplified to 11^7.
