Calculate and interpret a confidence interval; perform hypothesis tests and interpret the results for a population standard deviation.
A manufacturing process requires that the length of the product be fairly consistent for quality control purposes.To formalize this requirement, the supervisor wants the standard deviation of the product’s length to be less than one tenth of an inch. Describe how he might test whether the manufacturing process is meeting this requirement.
There is no more info for the question, this is all there is! I was thinking about using the chi-square distribution, but wanted to make sure it was a sound decision.
Yes, you are right. In order to check whether the population standard deviation of product’s length is less than one tenth of an inch or not we use chi-square test.

1. We reject the null hypothesis only when: a. our sample mean is larger than the population mean. b. the p value associated with our test statistic is greater than the significance level of the test we have chosen. c. our sample mean is smaller than the population mean. d. the p value associated with our test statistic is smaller than the significance level of the test we have chosen. 2. In a study of simulated juror decision making, researchers...
How can we assess whether a project is a success or a
failure?
This case presents two phases of a large business transformation project involving the implementation of an ERP system with the aim of creating an integrated company. The case illustrates some of the challenges associated with integration. It also presents the obstacles facing companies that undertake projects involving large information technology projects.
