The scores on a placement test given to college freshmen for the past five years are approximately normally distributed with a mean μ = 74 and a variance σ^2 = 8. Would you still consider σ^2 = 8 to be a valid value of the variance if a random sample or 20 students who take this placement test this year obtain a value of s^2 = 20?
In Chegg, the solve it with excel but I want it by hand.
Thank you.

A researcher has administered an optimism test for graduating college students for the past several years. In the current yearthe researcher obtains a sample of n = 36 people and asks each person to complete the optimism test (higher scores indicate higher levels of optimism about the future).
