Let X11, X12, Xin, and X21, X22, X2n₂ be two independent random samples of size ₁ and ₂ from two normal populations N(μ₁, of) and N(2, 2) respectively. 1 Xij, S² = Σ(Xij-X₁)² for i = 1, 2. n₂ Let X₁ = = n₁ (a) Using an appropriate statistic and a parameter from the above specifications, define a function/quantity that follows a chi-square distribution with (n₁-1) degrees of freedom. (b) Argue that the above chi-square statistic is a pivotal quantity and can be used to define a (1-a) x 100% confidence interval for the relevant population variance. Derive the confidence interval for the population variance, clearly
