A snack food manufacturer estimates that the variance of the number of grams of carbohydrates in
servings of its tortilla chips is 1.39. A dietician is asked to test this claim and finds that a random sample
of 22 servings has a variance of .25. At α=0.10, is there enough evidence to reject the manufacturer's
claim? Assume the population is normally distributed. Complete parts (a) through (e) below.

A coordinate system has a horizontal axis labeled chi squared and a vertical axis. A curve is over a
horizontal axis. Vertical line segments extend from the horizontal axis to the left and right side of the
curve. The area under the curve to the left of the left line segment and to the right of the right line
segment is shaded.
