A manufacturing company is purchasing metal pipes of standard
length from two different suppliers, ABC and XYZ. In the past two
months there are increasing complaints by the Production Manager
that delivery times by ABC present higher variability in comparison
to the delivery times by XYZ. The Production Manager is worried
that this variability will make it harder to efficiently schedule
the production process. If the variance of XYZ remains unchanged,
what should be the variance of ABC in order...
