The fan blades on commercial jet engines must be replaced when wear on these parts indicates too much variability to pass inspection. If a single fan blade broke during operation, it could severely endanger a flight. A large engine contains thousands of fan blades, and safety regulations require that variability measurements on the population of all blades not exceed σ2 = 0.18 mm2. An engine inspector took a random sample of 71 fan blades from an engine. She measured each blade and found a sample variance of 0.28 mm2. Using a 0.01 level of significance, is the inspector justified in claiming that all the engine fan blades must be replaced? (a) What is the level of significance?

(Round your answer to two decimal places.) What are the degrees of freedom? What assumptions are you making about the original distribution?

Since the P-value > ?, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.Since the P-value > ?, we reject the null hypothesis. Since the P-value ≤ ?, we reject the null hypothesis.Since the P-value ≤ ?, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. (e) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
