(a) The diameter of a spindle in a small motor is supposed to be 5.5 millimeters (mm) with a standard deviation of 0.15 mm. If the spindle is either too small or too large, the motor will not work properly. The manufacturer measures the diameter in a sample of 14 spindles to determine whether the mean diameter has moved away from the required measurement. Suppose the sample has an average diameter of 5.43 mm.
