The thicknesses of 81 randomly selected aluminum sheets were found to have a variance of 3.23. Construct the 98% confidence interval for the population variance of the thicknesses of all aluminum sheets in this factory. Round your answers to two decimal places

The confidence interval for the population variance of the thicknesses of all aluminum sheets in this factory is Lower limit = 2.30, Upper limit = 4.83.

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for population variance is given as below:

We are given

Confidence level = 98%

Sample size = n = 81

Degrees of freedom = n – 1 = 80

Sample Variance = S^2 = 3.23

(By using chi-square table)

[(n – 1)*S^2 / X^2 α/2, n– 1 ] < σ^2 < [(n – 1)*S^2 / X^2 1 -α/2, n– 1 ]

[(81 – 1)* 3.23 / 112.3288] < σ^2 < [(81 – 1)* 3.23/ 53.5401]

2.3004 < σ^2 < 4.8263

Lower limit = 2.30

Upper limit = 4.83.

(- 1, 0 )

step-by-step explanation:

an x- intercept is where the function crosses the x- axis.

to find the x- intercept/s look for the value of x when f(x) = 0

from the given table there are 3 values of x where f(x) = 0

when x = - 1, x = 2, x = 3

the one that is listed is (- 1, 0 )

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

step-by-step explanation:

formula

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

let the line segment ab with a(x1,y1) and b(x2,y2)

a point(x,y) divide ab in the ratio, 2: 3 the x coordinate can be written as

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

here p=2 and w = 2+3

therefore,

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

similarly y coordinate y = y1 + 2/5(y2 - y1)
