Plastic sheets produced by a machine are periodically monitored for possible fluctuations in thickness. If the true variance exceeds 1.20 square millimeters, there is cause for concern about product quality. Thickness measurements for a random sample of 10 sheets produced in a particular shift were taken, giving the results shown below (in millimeters). 230 229 227 227 230 227 a. Find the sample variance. 225 226 229 230 b. Test, at the 1% significance level, the null hypothesis that the population variance is at most 1.20 square millimeters.
