Airline companies are interested in the consistency of the number of babies on each flight, so that they have adequate safety equipment. They are also interested in the variation of the number of babies. Suppose that an airline executive believes the average number of babies on flights is six with a variance of nine at most. The airline conducts a survey. The results of the flights surveyed give a sample average of with a sample standard deviation of . Conduct a hypothesis test of the airline executive’s belief.
Use a solution sheet to solve the hypothesis test problem. Go to Appendix E for the chi-square solution sheet. Round expected frequency to two decimal places.

Consumers may be interested in whether the cost of a particular calculator varies from store to store. Based on surveying stores, which yielded a sample mean of and a sample standard deviation of , test the claim that the standard deviation is greater than .
Decide whether the following statements are true or false:
As the number of degrees of freedom increases, the graph of the chi-square distribution looks more and more symmetrical.
