Question
Many properties of the fabric used in different textiles, such as sheets and clothing, are influenced by whether the diameter of yarn used in the creation of the textile is consistent. Therefore, various methods can be used to measure the diameter of yarn at specified intervals, such as every 2mm, to determine the consistency of the diameter. These measurements are normally distributed. Suppose that one textile manufacturer will not use any yarn in which the variance of the diameters is greater than 0.0009mm. In order to ensure that the yarn is usable, the diameter of a length of yarn is measured at 400 random intervals. The variance of those measurements is found to be 0.000992mm. Does this evidence provide support that the batch of yarn is unusable by the manufacturer? Use a 0.005 level of significance.
Step 2 of 3 :
Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.

- The built-in data set, rock, is a data frame recording the measurements of rock sample from a petroleum reservoir. We are interested in the area column of rock. Using R we can convert this column into the vector x by the assignment x<-rock$shape.

In a study, researchers wanted to measure the effect of alcohol on the hippocampal region, the portion of the brain responsible for long-term memory storage, in adolescents. The researchers randomly selected 21 adolescents with alcohol use disorders to determine whether the hippocampal volumes in the alcoholic adolescents were less than the normal volume of 9.02 cm°. An analysis of the sample data revealed that the hippocampal volume is approximately normal with no outliers and x = 8.14 cm ands = 0.8 cm³.

- A manufacturing company produces bearings. One line of bearings is specified to be 1.64 centimeters (cm) in diameter. A major customer requires that the variance of the bearings be no more than .001 cm². The producer is required to test the bearings before they are shipped, and so the diameters of 16 bearings are measured with a precise instrument, resulting in the following values. Assume bearing diameters are normally distributed. Use the data and a = 0.01 to test to determine whether the population of these bearings is to be rejected because of too high a variance. 1.68 1.62 1.63 1.70 1.66 1.63 1.65 1.71 1.64 1.69 1.57 1.64 1.59 1.66 1.63 1.65 Appendix A Statistical Tables (Round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.)
