The mean labour productivity (output per worker per hour, in Rand) of a random sample of 26 textile manufacturers that export their products to foreign markets is R180.40 (with a standard deviation of 51.7). Likewise, the mean labour productivity of an independent random sample of 21 textile manufacturers that do not export their production is 159.30 (with a standard deviation of 42.9). Suppose that labour productivity is normally distributed for both types of manufacturing firms. Using this information, the 90% confidence interval for the standard deviation of the labour productivity of non-exporting textile manufacturers is for the lower limit and for the upper limit. (Note: You must write your final answers to 3 decimal places. When writing your answers, use "." (e.g. 3.250) instead of "," (i.e. 3,250) with no spaces between digits).

QUESTION 8

  1. The mean labour productivity (output per worker per hour, in Rand) of a random sample of 26 textile manufacturers that export their products to foreign markets is R180.40 (with a standard deviation of 51.7). Likewise, the mean labour productivity of an independent random sample of 21 textile manufacturers that do not export their production is 159.30 (with a standard deviation of 42.9). Suppose that labour productivity is normally distributed for both types of manufacturing firms. Using this information, the 90% confidence interval for the standard deviation of the labour productivity of non-exporting textile manufacturers is for the lower limit and for the upper limit. (Note: You must write your final answers to 3 decimal places. When writing your answers, use "." (e.g. 3.250) instead of "," (i.e. 3,250) with no spaces between digits).
