The newest model of a car battery from a popular brand is supposed to have a lifetime of 60 months, but the lifetime varies slightly from battery to battery. It is known that the population of all lifetimes (in months) of this model of car battery is approximately normally distributed. You are a product reviewer who wants to estimate the standard deviation for this population with a random sample of 22 car batteries. Follow the steps below to construct a 99% confidence interval for the population standard deviation of all lifetimes of this model of car battery. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

Question

The newest model of a car battery from a popular brand is supposed to have a lifetime of

months, but the lifetime varies slightly from battery to battery. It is known that the population of all lifetimes (in months) of this model of car battery is approximately normally distributed. You are a product reviewer who wants to estimate the standard deviation for this population with a random sample of

car batteries.

Follow the steps below to construct a

99%

confidence interval for the population standard deviation of all lifetimes of this model of car battery. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

(a)Click on "Take Sample" to see the results from the random sample.

Take Sample

Number of car batteries	Sample mean	Sample standard deviation	Sample variance

To find the confidence interval for the population standard deviation, first find the confidence interval for the population variance.

Enter the values of the point estimate of the population variance, the sample size, the left critical value, and the right critical value you need for your

99%

confidence interval for the population variance. (Choose the correct critical values from the table of critical values provided.) When you are done, select "Compute".

Critical values
Confidence level	Left critical value	Right critical value
99%	=χ20.9958.034	=χ20.00541.401
95%	=χ20.97510.283	=χ20.02535.479
90%	=χ20.9511.591	=χ20.0532.671
