A frozen food company that makes burritos currently has employees making burritos by hand. They are considering purchasing equipment to automate the process and want to determine if the automated process would result in lower variability of burrito weights. They take a random sample from each process as shown below.

h0: Process 1 (by hand)

n=10, s=0.2 ounces

h1: Process 2 (automated)

n=8, s=0.17 ounces

a) Report the critical value that would be used to conduct a hypothesis test using a 0.05 level (2 decimal places, i.e. 1.234).

b) Refer to the information given in question 16 above.
In conducting the hypothesis test, the test statistic is (3 decimal places of accuracy is expected, i.e. 1.234):

c) Refer to the information given in question 16 above.

What conclusions can be drawn from these results? Make an appropriate statement to interpret these
