Answer:
Yes, there is significant evidence to support the claim that sample standard deviation is higher than that claimed by the manufacturer
Step-by-step explanation:
Sample standard deviation, s = 3.2
Population standard deviation, σ = 2
Defining the Null and alternative hypothesis :
H0 : σ = 2
H1 : σ > 2
The test statistic :
Use the Relation :.
[(n - 1)*s²] ÷ σ²
[(10 - 1) * 3.2²] ÷ 2²
(9 * 10.24) ÷ 4
92.16 ÷ 4
= 23.04
We obtain the Pvalue for the distribution :
Using the Pvalue from Chisquare distribution calculator :
Pvalue(Chisquare score, df)
df = n - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9
Pvalue(23.04, 9) = 0.006107
Decision :
If Pvalue is < α ; Reject H0 ; α = 0.05
0.006107 < 0.05 ; We reject H0
