A set of solar batteries is used in a research satellite. The satellite can run on only one battery, but it runs best if more than one battery is used. The variance σ2 of lifetimes of these batteries affects the useful lifetime of the satellite before it goes dead. If the variance is too small, all the batteries will tend to die at once. Why? If the variance is too large, the batteries are simply not dependable. Why? Engineers have determined that a variance of σ2 = 23 months (squared) is most desirable for these batteries. A random sample of 30 batteries gave a sample variance of 16.3 months (squared). Using a 0.05 level of significance, test the claim that σ2 = 23 against the claim that σ2 is different from 23.

Hence, we reject H_0 as There  is sufficient evidence to show that population variance is not 23

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Sample size

Variance

Significance Level

Genet=rally the Hypothesis are as follows

Null

Alternative

Generally the equation for Chi distribution t is mathematically given by

t test statistics

Therefore

Critical Value

Where

Hence, we reject H_0 as There  is sufficient evidence to show that population variance is not 23

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
