Question

The fan blades on commercial jet engines must be replaced when wear on these parts indicates too much variability to pass inspection. If a single fan blade broke during operation, it could severely endanger a flight. A large engine contains thousands of fan blades, and safety regulations require that variability measurements on the population of all blades not exceed ?² = 0.18 mm². An engine inspector took a random sample of 81 fan blades from an engine. She measured each blade and found a sample variance of 0.29 mm². Using a 0.01 level of significance, is the inspector justified in claiming that all the engine fan blades must be replaced?

(a) What is the level of significance?

State the null and alternate hypotheses.

H₀: ?² = 0.18; H₁: ?² ≠ 0.18H₀: ?² = 0.18; H₁: ?² > 0.18 H₀: ?² > 0.18; H₁: ?² = 0.18H₀: ?² = 0.18; H₁: ?² < 0.18

(b) Find the value of the chi-square statistic for the sample. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

What are the degrees of freedom?

What assumptions are you making about the original distribution?

We assume a uniform population distribution.We assume a binomial population distribution. We assume a normal population distribution.We assume a exponential population distribution.

P-value > 0.1000.050 < P-value < 0.100 0.025 < P-value < 0.0500.010 < P-value < 0.0250.005 < P-value < 0.010P-value < 0.005

(d) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?

Since the P-value > ?, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.Since the P-value > ?, we reject the null hypothesis. Since the P-value ≤ ?, we reject the null hypothesis.Since the P-value ≤ ?, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

(e) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.

At the 1% level of significance, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the variance of measurements on the fan blades is higher than the specified amount. The inspector is not justified in claiming the blades must be replaced.At the 1% level of significance, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the variance of measurements on the fan blades is higher than the specified amount.

(f) Find a 90% confidence interval for the population standard deviation. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

lower limit	mm
upper limit	mm

Interpret the results in the context of the application.

We are 90% confident that ? lies below this interval.We are 90% confident that ? lies within this interval. We are 90% confident that ? lies outside this interval.We are 90% confident that ? lies above this interval.
