A manufacturer of candy must monitor the temperature. At which the candidates are baked. Too much variation will cause inconsistency in the taste of candy. Past records show that the standard deviation of the temperature has been 12 degrees farenheit. A random sample of 30 batches of candy is selected and the sample standard deviation of the temperature is 2.1 defrees Fahrenheit. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence that the population standard deviation has increased above 1.2 degrees Fahrenheit.
