What you’ll learn to do: Conduct a hypothesis test and interpret the conclusion in context
Ideally, thermometers to measure human body temperature should be fairly accurate with low variability. If we want to test the variability of a population, we can do a test of a single variance. This test uses the same chi-square distribution we used earlier in this chapter, but the way the test statistic is calculated is very different.
