a 95% confidence interval for ? 2.b 95% upper confidence

Chapter 8, Problem 41E

(choose chapter or problem)

Suppose that  is normally distributed with mean 0 and unknown variance \(\sigma^{2}\). Then \(Y^{2} / \sigma^{2}\) has a \(\chi^{2}\) distribution with 1 df. Use the pivotal quantity

\(Y^{2} / \sigma^{2}\) to find a

a.  confidence interval for \(\sigma^{2}\).
b.  upper confidence limit for \(\sigma^{2}\).
c.  lower confidence limit for \(\sigma^{2}\).
