Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When constructing a (1 - α) 100% confidence interval for a population variance $\sigma^2$, the population from which the random sample is selected is assumed to follow a normal distribution. This is because the method typically involves the chi-square distribution, which is derived under the assumption of normality.
