Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You can get the three consecutive integers by using algebraic expressions.

Let's solve.

Let x be the smallest even integer.

Let x+2 be the second even integer.

Let x+4 be the largest even integer.

x+x+2+x+4 = 36

3x+6 = 36

3x = 36-6

3x = 30

x = $\frac{30}{3}$

x = 10

Therefore, 10 is the smallest even integer.

x+2 = 10+2 = 12

The second even integer is 12.

x+4 = 10+4 = 14

The largest even integer is 14.

Let's check by adding the three even integers.

10+12+14 = 36

36 = 36

It's correct.

Answer:

a) $\frac{(8)(30.23)^2}{20.09} \leq \sigma^2 \leq \frac{(8)(30.23)^2}{1.65}$

$363.90 \leq \sigma^2 \leq 4430.80$

Now we just take square root on both sides of the interval and we got:

$19.08 \leq \sigma \leq 66.56$

b) For this case we are 98% confidence that the true deviation for the population of interest is between 19.08 and 66.56

Step-by-step explanation:

423.6, 487.3, 453.2, 402.9, 483.0, 477.7, 442.3, 418.4, 459.0

Part a

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

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

On this case we need to find the sample standard deviation with the following formula:

$s=sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^8 (x_i -\bar x)^2}{n-1}}
And in order to find the sample mean we just need to use this formula:
[tex]\bar x =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i}{n}$

The sample deviation for this case is s=30.23

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

$df=n-1=9-1=8$

The Confidence interval is 0.98 or 98%, the value of $\alpha=0.02$ and $\alpha/2 =0.01$ , and the critical values are:

$\chi^2_{\alpha/2}=20.09$

$\chi^2_{1- \alpha/2}=1.65$

And replacing into the formula for the interval we got:

$\frac{(8)(30.23)^2}{20.09} \leq \sigma^2 \leq \frac{(8)(30.23)^2}{1.65}$

$363.90 \leq \sigma^2 \leq 4430.80$

Now we just take square root on both sides of the interval and we got:

$19.08 \leq \sigma \leq 66.56$

Part b

For this case we are 98% confidence that the true deviation for the population of interest is between 19.08 and 66.56
