Respuesta :
The value of x² values that separate the middle 80 % from the rest of the distribution is
With alpha and degrees of freedom χ²= 12.443
And with alpha and degrees of freedom χ²= 28.412
Chi - Square Distribution:
The chi square distribution is the continuous distribution, where the degree of freedom is the sample size minus 1, and it is the parameter of the chi-square probability distribution.
Given,
Here we need to find the value of x² values that separate the middle 80 % from the rest of the distribution for 20 degrees of freedom.
Based on the given details,
Degrees of freedom = 20
Middle separate value = 80%
Which is equal to 0.8 in decimal point.
The significance level
=> ∝ = 1 - 0.8
=> ∝ = 0.2
But we need the area of the middle so we divide this significance level with 2
so that we get exactly the middle area .
Dividing
=> 0.2/2= 0.1
So we will have two values for chi square
One with
=> 0.8 + 0.1 = 0.9 alpha
and
one with
=> 0.1 alpha .
This is because the chi square is right tailed.
Now based on the chi square distribution table,
So with alpha 0.9 and 20 degrees of freedom χ²= 12.443
And with alpha 0.1 and 20 degrees of freedom χ²= 28.412
