In the manufacture of machinery, it is essential to utilize parts that conform to specifications. In the past, diameters of the ball bearings produced by Kruger Industrial Smoothing had a standard deviation of 0.0395 mm. To cut costs, you as a quality engineer instituted a less expensive production method. The diameters (in mm) of a sample of 50 ball bearings collected after the new production method are found in below as "DATA". Do the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that diameters of ball bearings produced by the new process are more variable than those produced by the old process? Test at ? = 0.05. a.

Problem 6
In the manufacture of machinery, it is essential to utilize parts that conform to specifications. In
the past, diameters of the ball bearings produced by Kruger Industrial Smoothing had a
standard deviation of 0.0395 mm. To cut costs, you as a quality engineer instituted a less
expensive production method. The diameters (in mm) of a sample of 50 ball bearings collected
after the new production method are found in below as "DATA". Do the data provide
sufficient evidence to indicate that diameters of ball bearings produced by the new process are
more variable than those produced by the old process? Test at ? = 0.05.
a. Use the ?-value approach using the tables in the book. (Book Statistics For Engineering And The Sciences, Sixth Edition)
b. Use the ?-value approach using Excel.
