Answer:

c. [1.771;4.245] feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The variable of interest is

X: height of a student at UH

X~N(μ;σ²)

You have to estimate the population standard deviation using a 95% confidence interval.

The statistic to use for the interval is a student Chi-Square with n-1 degrees of freedom. First you have to calculate the CI for the population variance:

[\frac{(n-1)S^2}{X^2_{n-1;1-\alpha /2}} ;\frac{(n-1)S^2}{X^2_{n-1;\alpha /2}} ]

X^2_{n-1;1-\alpha /2}= X^2_{11;0.975}= 21.920

X^2_{n-1;\alpha /2}= X^2_{11;0.025}= 3.816

n=12

S= 2.5

[\frac{11*6.25}{21.920} ;\frac{11*6.25}{3.816}} ]

[3.136; 18.016] feet²

Then you calculate the square root of both limits to get the CI for the population standard deviation:

[√3.136; √18.016]

[1.771;4.245] feet

I hope this helps!

Answer:

V≈50.27cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formulas

V=πr2h

3

l=r2+h2

Solving forV

V=1

3πr2l2﹣r2=1

3·π·42·52﹣42≈50.26548cm³
