Explanation / Answer

If this calculated value is roughly equal to (but slightly less than) the value of the chi squared is statistic found in the tables for a confidence level of 90% then we fail to reject the null hypothesis as the test statistic does not fall in the critical region.

d)

The engineer can say "I am 90% confident that the data does come from a normal distribution."  

True.

d)

The engineer can say "I am 90% confident that the data does come from a normal distribution."
