Manufacturing Aircraft Altimeters The Stewart Aviation Products Company uses a new production method to manufacture aircraft altimeters.

Question:

Manufacturing Aircraft Altimeters The Stewart Aviation Products Company uses a new production method to manufacture aircraft altimeters. A simple random sample of 81 altimeters is tested in a pressure chamber, and the errors in altitude are recorded as positive values (for readings that are too high) or negative values (for readings that are too low). The sample has a standard deviation of s 5 52.3 ft. At the 0.05 significance level, test the claim that the new production line has errors with a standard deviation different from 43.7 ft, which was the standard deviation for the old production method. If it appears that the standard deviation has changed, does the new production method appear to be better or worse than the old method?
