Let X and Y equal the times in days required for maturation of Guardiola seeds fromnarrow-leaved and broad-leaved parents, respectively. Assume that X is N(μX, σ2X) and Y is N(μY, σ2Y) and that X and Y are independent. Test the hypothesis H0: σ2X / σ2Y = 1 against the alternative hypothesis H0: σ2X / σ2Y > 1 at α = 0.05, given nX = 25, sample mean of 18 from X , and sample standard deviation of sX = 8, and nY = 25, sample mean of 24 from Y, and sample standard deviation of sY = 6.
