Question

A random sample of 20 nominally measured of the length of a plastic ball is taken and the lengths are measured precisely. The measurements, in mm, are as follows: 2.02 1.94 2.09 1.95 1.98 2.00 2.03 2.04 2.08 2.07 1.99 1.96 1.99 1.95 1.99 1.99 2.03 2.05 2.01 2.03 From the data, we calculate ∑ ? = 40.19, ∑ ? 2 = 80.7977 Assuming that the lengths are normally distributed with unknown mean ?, and unknown variance ? 2 i. find a 90% confidence interval for the variance ? 2 . Interpret your results. ii. find a 90% confidence interval for the standard deviation ? . Interpret your results.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
