There are 10 marbles total.

Since there's only one red, the chance of getting a red marble is $\frac{1}{10}$

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval is given by:

3.30<σ<8.76

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

s=4.798 represent the sample standard deviation

$\bar x$ represent the sample mean

n=10 the sample size

Confidence=95% or 0.95

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) Calculating the confidence interval

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

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

The next step would be calculate the critical values. First we need to calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

$df=n-1=10-1=9$

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a tabel to find the critical values.
