In each of Exercises, we have provided the sample standard deviations and sample sizes for independent simple random samples from two populations. In each case, use the two-standarddeviations F-test and the two-standard-deviations F-interval procedure to conduct the required hypothesis test and obtain the specified confidence interval.

For X2, from a random sample of 50, sample mean x ̄2 = 190 and sample standard deviation s2 = 15. Assume that population distributions are approximately independent normal with unequal variances.
