![### Statistical Analysis of Soda Can Volumes
**Scenario:**
Workers at a certain soda drink factory collected data on the volumes (in ounces) of a simple random sample of 22 cans of the soda drink. Those volumes have a mean of 12.19 oz and a standard deviation of 0.14 oz, and they appear to be from a normally distributed population. If the workers want the filling process to work so that almost all cans have volumes between 11.98 oz and 12.70 oz, a range rule of thumb can be used to estimate that the standard deviation should be less than 0.18 oz. Use the sample data to test the claim that the population of volumes has a standard deviation less than 0.18 oz. Use a 0.05 significance level. Complete parts (a) through (d) below.
**Procedure:**
b. **Compute the test statistic:**
\[ \chi^2 = \boxed{\hspace{30px}} \]
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
c. **Find the P-value:**
\[ \text{P-value} = \boxed{\hspace{30px}} \]
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
d. **State the conclusion:**
\[
\text{Reject } H_0, \text{ because the P-value is} \boxed{\hspace{50px}} \text{ the level of significance. There is} \boxed{\hspace{50px}} \text{ evidence to conclude that the population standard deviation of can volumes is less than 0.18 oz.}

**Note:**
The values enclosed in boxes (\(\boxed{\hspace{30px}}\)) are to be filled in with the appropriate numerical calculations based on the steps provided in the scenario. The procedure involves determining the chi-square test statistic and the associated P-value to make a decision concerning the null hypothesis (\( H_0 \)).

- In the 1800s, German physician Carl Reinhold, took millions of axillary (i.e. armpit) temperatures from soldiers. This study established that body temperature is normally distributed and the standard normal human body temperature is 98.6℉ with a standard deviation of 0.72 ℉. In a recent study, American researchers obtained 5,000 axillary temperatures from a Los Angeles hospital. The mean of these temperature readings was 97.9 ℉.
