(1 point) In a test of two population means - μ1μ1 versus μ2μ2 - with unknown variances σ21σ12 and σ22σ22, two independent samples of n1=8n1=8 and n2=10n2=10 were taken. The data is given below. Both populations are normally distributed.

Sample From Population 1: 11, 7, 14, 14, 19, 16, 16, 16 ;
Sample From Population 2: 16, 15, 19, 16, 16, 14, 19, 20, 20, 18

(a) You wish to test the hypothesis that both populations have the same variance. Choose the correct statistical hypotheses.
A. H0:σ21≠σ22HA:σ21=σ22H0:σ12≠σ22HA:σ12=σ22
B. H0:σ21=σ22HA:σ21≠σ22H0:σ12=σ22HA:σ12≠σ22
C. H0:σ21=σ22HA:σ21<σ22H0:σ12=σ22HA:σ12<σ22
D. H0:S21=S22HA:S21≠S22H0:S12=S22HA:S12≠S22
E. H0:σ21=σ22HA:σ21>σ22H0:σ12=σ22HA:σ12>σ22

(b) Determine the value of the test statistic for this test. Use at least two decimals in your answer.
Test Statistic =

(c) Determine the PP-value for this test, to at least three decimal places.
P=



(d) Using α=0.05α=0.05, the null hypothesis should  ? rejected. not be rejected. . From this data and this version of the hypothesis we infer, the variation in Population 1 is statistically  ? greater than less than equal to different than  the variation in Population 2.

Answer #1

B. H0:σ21=σ22HA:σ21≠σ22

b)

Test statistic =s12/s22 =13.55/5.19 = 2.61

c)

P value = 0.203

d) α=0.05, the null hypothesis should   not be rejected. . From this data and this version of the hypothesis we infer, the variation in Population 1 is equal to the variation in Population 2.
