Question

A company is doing a hypothesis test on the variation of quality from two suppliers. Both distributions are normal, and the populations are independent. use αα = 0.01

H0 : σσ 1 2 = σσ 2 2
HA : σσ 1 2 > σσ 2 2

The standard deviation of the first sample is 5.4022 with a sample size of 21.
6.6836 is the standard deviation of the second sample with a sample size of 12.

The test statistic (rounded to 3 decimal places) is = 

 

  • Fail to reject the null hypothesis
  • Reject the null hypothesis
