Some traffic experts believe that the major cause of highway collisions is the differing speeds of cars. That is, when some cars are driven slowly while others are driven at speeds well in excess of the speed limit, cars tend to congregate in bunches, increasing the probability of accidents. Thus, the greater the variation in speed, the greater will be the number of collisions that occur.Suppose that one expert believes that when the variance exceeds 18 mph 2, the number of accidents will be unacceptably high.A random sample of the speeds of 245 cars on a highway with one of the highest accident rates in the country is taken. Can we conclude at the 10% significance level that the variance in speeds exceeds 18 mph 2?
