A random sample of 10 gears from supplier 1 results in x1 = 290 and s1 = 12 while another random sample of 16 gears from the second supplier results in x2 = 321 and s2 = 22.

The machine that fills packages of these cookies is set up in such a way that the average net weight of these packages is 32 ounces with a variance of .015 square ounce. From time to time the quality con- trol inspector at the company selects a sample of a few such packages, calculates the variance of the net weights of these packages, and makes a test of hypothesis about the population vari- ance. She always uses .01. The acceptable value of the population variance is .015 square ounce or less. If the conclusion from the test of hypothesis is that the population variance is not within the acceptable limit, the machine is stopped and adjusted.
