Use the z table or your calculator to find the critical value (Z*) that corresponds to 92% confidence.
A
1.41
B
1.75
C
1.81
D
1.96
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The closest value is 0.9599 with the corresponding z value of 1.75. Hence, 1.75 is a 92% confidence interval for a standard deviation.

Detailed explanation-2: -The critical value is computed as The value corresponds to the row labelled as-1.8 and column labelled as 0.01. Hence the critical value for 93% confidence level is-1.81. Often the critical value is positive, so the critical value is sometimes given as 1.81.
