Question

6. A new method for measuring the concentration of a chemical solution claims to have a standard deviation of 0.02 mol/L. To test this claim, a sample of 20 measurements was randomly selected and analyzed, revealing a sample standard deviation of 0.025 mol/L. Is there sufficient evidence to suggest that the standard deviation of the new method is different from 0.02 mol/L? Use a significance level of 0.02. (10 marks)

Step 1

$H_0: \sigma = 0.02$ (The standard deviation of the new method is 0.02 mol/L) $H_1: \sigma \ne 0.02$ (The standard deviation of the new method is different from 0.02 mol/L) Show more…
