- * Let X is a Gaussian random variable with zero mean an variance o. Y = X. Find mean of Random Variable Y.arrow_forwardAn electronic company's records show that the mean number of circuit.boards rejected per batch is 5.7 with a variance of 1.4. Due to a change in the molding process, factory management has hired you to perform a hypothesis test to check if the variance, o, has increased. To do so, you test a random sample of 10 batches produced using the new process; the number of circuit boards rejected per batch has a sample variance of 2.5. Under the assumption that the number of circuit boards rejected per batch using the new process follows a normal distribution, you will perform a chi-square test. Find x, the value of the test statistic for your chi-square test.
