Answer

a. α = 0.05, n = 12, df = 12-1=11 To find χ2 right , α/2=0.025 From the table, χ2 right = 21.920 To find χ2 left, 1-0.025=0.975 From the table, χ2 left = 3.816 b. α = 0.10, n = 20, df = 20-1=19 To find χ2 right , α/2=0.05 From the table, χ2 right = 30.114 To find χ2 left, 1-0.05=0.95 From the table, χ2 left = 10.117 c. α = 0.05, n = 27, df = 27-1=26 To find χ2 right , α/2=0.025 From the table, χ2 right = 21.920 To find χ2 left, 1-0.025=0.975 From the table, χ2 left = 3.816 d. α = 0.01, n = 6,df = 6-1=5 To find χ2 right , α/2=0.005 From the table, χ2 right = 16.750 To find χ2 left, 1-0.005=0.995 From the table, χ2 left = 0.412 e. α = 0.10, n = 41, df = 41-1=40 To find χ2 right , α/2=0.05 From the table, χ2 right = 55.758 To find χ2 left, 1-0.05=0.95 From the table, χ2 left =26.509
