CHI-SQUARE DISTRIBUTION
Sampling distribution of sample statistic 2 (chi-square)

Where :
2 = chi-square
n = sample size
(n 1) = degree of freedom
2 = sample variance
2 = population variance 3
PROPERTIES OF CHI-SQUARE
DISTRIBUTION
Not symmetric compared to normal and Student t
distributions
Increasing the degrees of freedom (n-1) creates a more
symmetric distribution

STEPS IN CONSTRUCTING A CONFIDENCE
INTERVAL FOR OR 2
1. Satisfy required assumptions
2. Use degrees of freedom and Table A-4 to determine
critical values 2R and 2L corresponding to the
desired confidence level.
3. Evaluate upper and lower confidence interval limits
for 2 .
4. Take the upper and lower confidence interval limits
for .
5. Round the confidence interval limits (original data
set = one more decimal place; s or 2 = same number
13
of decimal places)

Confidence Interval for Penny Weights Pennies are
currently being minted with a standard deviation of
0.0165 g. New equipment is being tested in an
attempt to improve quality by reducing variation. A
simple random sample of 10 pennies is obtained from
pennies manufactured with the new equipment. A
normal quantile plot and histogram show that the
weights are from a normally distributed population,
and the sample has a standard deviation of 0.0125 g.
Use the sample results to construct a 95% confidence
interval estimate of the standard deviation of the
weights of pennies made with the new equipment.
