Question

The annual earnings of 14 randomly selected computer software engineers have a sample standard deviation of $3657. Assume the sample is from a normally distributed population. Construct a confidence interval for the population variance σ2 and the population standard deviation σ.
Use a 99% level of confidence. Interpret the results.

What is the confidence interval for the population variance

σ2?

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.
