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 ?2 = 0.18 mm2. An engine inspector took a random sample of 81 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? (b) Find the value of the chi-square statistic for the sample. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Question

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 ?2 = 0.18 mm2. An engine inspector took a random sample of 81 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?

(b) Find the value of the chi-square statistic for the sample. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Find or estimate the P-value of the sample test statistic.

P-value > 0.1000.050 < P-value < 0.100    0.025 < P-value < 0.0500.010 < P-value < 0.0250.005 < P-value < 0.010P-value < 0.00
Find a 90% confidence interval for the population standard deviation.
