Question 1159702: Plastic sheets produced by a machine periodically monitored for possible fluctuations in thickness. If the true variance in thicknesses exceeds 2.25 square milli- meters, there is cause for concern about product quality. Thickness measurements for random sample 10 sheets produced in a particular shift were taken, giving the following results (in millimeters): 226 226 232 227 225 228 225 228 229
