Answer:
<h2>10.295</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the value for calculating the confidence interval as given;
CI = xbar + Z*σ/√n
xbar is the mean = 37.14+42.86/2
xbar= 80/2
xbar = 40
Z is the z-score at the 90% confidence = 1.645
σ is the standard deviation
n is the sample size = 35
Given the confidence interval CI as [37.14, 42.86]
Using the maximum value of the confidence interval to get the value of the standard deviation, we will have;
42.86 = xbar + Z*σ/√n
42.86 = 40 + 1.645* σ/√35
42.86-40 = 1.645*σ/√35
2.86 = 1.645*σ/√35
2.86/1.645 = σ/√35
1.739 = σ/√35
1.739 = σ/5.92
σ= 1.739*5.92
σ = 10.295
Hence, the sample standard deviation of a pair of jeans is 10.295
