A rivet is to be inserted into a hole. A random
sample of 15 parts is selected and the hole
diameter is measured. The sample standard
deviation is s= 0.008 millimeters. Is there
strong evidence to indicate that the standard
deviation of hole diameter exceeds 0.01
millimeters? Use a = 0.01.
(a) Calculate the test statistic Round your
answer to two decimal places (eg. 98.76).
(b) Is there strong evidence to indicate that the
standard deviation of hole diameter exceeds
0.01 millimeters?
