Test of a Single Variance · Exercise 23
For each word problem, use a solution sheet to solve the hypothesis test problem. Go to for the chi-square solution sheet. Round expected frequency to two decimal places.
A plant manager is concerned her equipment may need recalibrating. It seems that the actual weight of the 15-ounce cereal boxes it fills has been fluctuating. The standard deviation should be at most 0.5 ounces. To determine if the machine needs to be recalibrated, 84 randomly selected boxes of cereal from the next day’s production were weighed. The standard deviation of the 84 boxes was 0.54. Does the machine need to be recalibrated?
Its source prints no answer for this problem, so there's nothing to check against.
