A random sample of 25 observations is selected from a normally distributed population. The sample variance is 10. In the 95% confidence interval for the population variance, the upper limit will be:

A) 17.110
B) 6.097
C) 17.331
D) 19.353
E) 11.842

Population Variance

A measure of the dispersion of all data points in a population from the population mean, indicating the diversity within the population.

Confidence Interval

A range of values within which there is a specified probability that the true parameter lies.

Sample Variance

A statistic used to estimate the variance of a population, calculated from a sample of data from that population.
