The competitive advantage of small american factories such as tolerance contract manufacturing lies in their ability to produce parts with highly narrow requirements, or tolerances, that are typical in the aerospace industry. consider a product with specifications that call for a maximum variance in the lengths of the parts of 0.0004. suppose the sample variance for 30 parts turns out to be s2 = 0.0005. use α = 0.05 to test whether the population variance specification is being violated.

If we compare the p value and the significance level provided we see that $p_v \alpha$ so on this case we have enough evidence in order to FAIL reject the null hypothesis at the significance level provided. And that means that the population variance is not significantly higher than 0.0004, so there is no a violation of the specifications.

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation and previous concepts

A chi-square test is "used to test if the variance of a population is equal to a specified value. This test can be either a two-sided test or a one-sided test. The two-sided version tests against the alternative that the true variance is either less than or greater than the specified value"

n=30 represent the sample size

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the confidence level

s^2 =0.0005 represent the sample variance obtained

$\sigma^2_0 =0.0004$ represent the value that we want to test

Null and alternative hypothesis

On this case we want to check if the population variance specification is violated, so the system of hypothesis would be:

Null Hypothesis: $\sigma^2 \leq 0.0004$

Alternative hypothesis: $\sigma^2 0.0004$

Calculate the statistic

For this test we can use the following statistic:

$\chi^2 =\frac{n-1}{\sigma^2_0} s^2$

And this statistic is distributed chi square with n-1 degrees of freedom. We have eveything to replace.

$\chi^2 =\frac{30-1}{0.0004} 0.0005 =36.25$

Calculate the p value

In order to calculate the p value we need to have in count the degrees of freedom , on this case 29. And since is a right tailed test the p value would be given by:

$p_v =P(\chi^2 36.25)=0.1664$

In order to find the p value we can use the following code in excel:

"=1-CHISQ.DIST(36.25,29,TRUE)"

At wind speeds above 1000 centimeters per second (cm/sec), significant sand-moving events begin to occur. wind speeds below 1000 cm/sec deposit sand and wind speeds above 1000 cm/sec move sand to new locations. the cyclic nature of wind and moving sand determines the shape and location of large dunes. at a test site, the prevailing direction of the wind did not change noticeably. however, the velocity did change. fifty-nine wind speed readings gave an average velocity of x = 1075 cm/sec. based on long-term experience, σ can be assumed to be 245 cm/sec. (a) find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean wind speed at this site. (round your answers to the nearest whole number.) lower limit cm/sec upper limit cm/sec
