Question
Q3. [3+2=5points] 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 1.03 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 caleulate Σ X = 39.19, Σχ277.7377
Assuming that the lengths are normally distributed with unknown mean µ, and unknown variance 82
i.
find a 90% confidence interval for the variance o². Interpret your results.
ii.
find a 90% confidence interval for the standard deviation o . Interpret your results.
