Calculate a and b so that P(a < s^2 < b) = 0.8, being s^2 the sample variance of a random sample with size 16 taken from a population with distribution N(8; 2).
Added by Jose Maria B.
Step 1
We need to find the values of a and b such that the probability P(a < s^2 < b) = 0.8, where s^2 is the sample variance. Show more…

Find the probability that a random sample of 25 observations, from a normal population with variance $a^{\prime \prime}=6$, will have a variance $s^{2}$ (a) greater than !). I; (b) between 3.462 and $10.745 .$ Assume the sample variances to be continuous measurements.

F-Distribution
Let $x$ be a continuous random variable that has a normal distribution with $\mu=48$ and $\sigma=8$. Assuming $n / N \leq .05$, find the probability that the sample mean, $\bar{x}$, for a random sample of 16 taken from this population will be a. between $49.6$ and $52.2$ b. more than $45.7$
