Question

1. A cement manufacturer claims that concrete prepared from his product has a relatively stable compressive strength and that the strength measured in kilograms per square centimeter (kg/cm2) lies within a range of 40 kg/cm2. A sample of n = 10 measurements produced a mean and variance equal to, respectively 312 and 195.

Do these data present sufficient evidence to reject the manufacturer’s claim? [α = 0.05]
