a manufacture of 10cm ball bearings claims the standard deviation of it's bearings diameter is less than 0.21. A random sample of 12 bearings found the standard deviation of the diameter to be 0.14cm. is there enough evidence , at the 0.01 level of significance to back up the manufactures claim?
H0: = 0.21
Ha: < 0.21
Test statistics
= ( n - 1 ) S2 / 2
= (12 - 1) * 0.142 / 0.212
= 4.89
Critical value at 0.01 significance level with 11 df = 3.053
Since test statistics > 3.053
Do not reject the null hypothesis.
We do not have suffcient evidence to support the claim that the standard deviation of it's bearings diameter is less than 0.21.
