to customers. Production specifications call for a maximum variance in the lengths of the parts of 0.0004. Suppose a random sample of 30 parts gives a variance of s2 = 0.00024. You wish to test H0: σ 2 ≥ 0.0004 vs Ha: σ 2 < 0.0004 at the 5% level of significance. Which of the following is the correct decision and conclusion? (You can assume that part lengths follow a normal distribution)
A)Do not reject H0; The parts are not meeting the company standard
B) Do not reject H0; The parts are meeting the company standard
C) Reject H0; The parts are meeting the company standard
D) Reject H0; The parts are not meeting the company standard
