The fan blades on commercial jet engines must be replaced when wear on these parts indicates too much variability to pass inspection. If a single fan blade broke during operation, it could severely endanger a flight. A large engine contains thousands of fan blades, and safety regulations require that variability measurements on the population of all blades not exceed ?² = 0.18 mm². An engine inspector took a random sample of 71 fan blades from an engine. She measured each blade and found a sample variance of 0.31 mm². Using a 0.01 level of significance, is the inspector justified in claiming that all the engine fan blades must be replaced?
