Essay

Use the traditional method to test the given hypothesis. Assume that the population is normally distributed and that the sample has been randomly selected.
-A manufacturer uses a new production method to produce steel rods. A random sample of 17 steel rods resulted in lengths with a standard deviation of 2.4 cm. At the 0.10 significance level, test the claim that the new production method has lengths with a standard deviation different from 3.5 cm, which was the standard deviation for the old method.
