A bolt manufacturer wants to investigate the machine that produces bolts with a diameter of 0.27 centimeter. if the variance of the diameters is equal to 0.025, then the machine is working as expected. a random sample of 11 bolts has a standard deviation of 0.3199. does the manufacturer have evidence at the a =0.025 level that this variance of the bolt diemeters is more than required?assum the population is normally distributed. 1.state the null and alternative hypothesis. round to 4 decimal places when necessary. 2.determine the critical value of the test statistic. If the test is two tailed, separate the values with a comma. Round to 3 decimal places. 3.determine the value of the test statistic. Round to 3 decimals. 4.

The annual rainfall in a certain region is modeled using the normal distribution shown below. The mean of the distribution is 41.8 cm and the standard deviation is 5.3 cm. In the figure, V is a number along the axis and is under the highest part of the curve. And, Uand W are numbers along the axis that are each the same distance away from Use the empirical rule to choose the best value for the percentage of the area under the curve that is shaded, and find the values of U, V, and W. Percentage of total area shaded: (Choose one) 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 ( cm)

Should fail the test (scores < 65)? ii. iii.
Consider an engine parts supplier and suppose the supplier has determined that the mean and variance of the population of all cylindrical engine part outside diameters produced by the current machine are, respectively, 2.5 inches and .00075. To reduce this variance, a new machine is designed. A random sample of 20 outside diameters produced by this new machine has a sample mean of 2.5 inches and a variance of s 2 = .0002 (normal distribution). In order for a cylindrical engine part to give an engine long life, the outside diameter must be between 2.43 and 2.57 inches. If σ 2 denotes the variance of the population of all outside diameters that would be produced by the new machine, test H 0: σ 2 = .00075 versus H a: σ 2 < .00075 by setting α = .05.
