QuestionIQ scores: Scores on an IQ test are normally distributed. A sample of 12 IQ scores had standard deviation s=6s=6. (a) Construct an 80%80 \% confidence interval for the population standard deviation σ\sigma. Round the answers to at least two decimal places. (b) The developer of the test claims that the population standard deviation is σ=6\sigma=6. Does this confidence interval contradict this claim? Explain.
Part: 0/20 / 2
Part 1 of 2
An 80%80 \% confidence interval for the population standard deviation is <σ<\square<\sigma<\square.

Studdy Solution
[The 80% confidence interval for the population standard deviation is 4.79<σ<8.434.79 < \sigma < 8.43.
This *does not* contradict the developer's claim that σ=6\sigma = 6.
