A manufacturer of metal plates makes two claims concerning the thickness of the plates they produce. The manufacturer claims that Statement a: The mean is 200mm  Statement b : The variance is 1.5mm squared To investigate the second claim the thickness of a second sample of metal sheets was measured. The values found are listed in Part b with mm as unit. Set up the framework of an appropriate statistical test on Statement B Explain how knowing the sample variance before carrying out the test would influence the structure of the test.

A manufacturer of metal plates makes two claims concerning the thickness of the plates they produce. The manufacturer claims that

Statement a: The mean is 200mm 

Statement b : The variance is 1.5mm squared

To investigate the second claim the thickness of a second sample of metal sheets was measured. The values found are listed in Part b with mm as unit. Set up the framework of an appropriate statistical test on Statement B Explain how knowing the sample variance before carrying out the test would influence the structure of the test.
