(a) Are you willing to assume that the underlying variances are equal?
Yes, the ratio of the larger variance to the smaller variance is less than three.
Yes, the ratio of the larger variance to the smaller variance is more than
three.
No, the ratio of the larger variance to the smaller variance is less than three.
No, the ratio of the larger variance to the smaller variance is more than three.
It is not possible to check that assumption with the given information.
(b) Using the information from part (a), is there evidence of a significant difference in the mean numbers of uncontaminated eggplants for the two disinfectants tested? (Use u, for 95% ethanol
disinfectant and u, for 20% bleach disinfectant. Use a =
0.05.)
State the null and alternative hypotheses.
Ho: (H1 - H2) # 0 versus H,: (H1 - H2) = 0
Ho: (H1 - H2) = 0 versus Ha: (u1 - 42) # 0
Ho: (H, - H2) = 0 versus H: (µ1 - H2) > 0
Ho: (H, - H2) < 0 versus H: (u, – H2) > 0
= 0 versus H,: (H, - H2) < 0
