The following information is available for two samples selected
from independent normally distributed populations. Complete
parts (a) and (b).
Population A n=13 S2=57.3
Population B n=21 S2=20.6
a. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence of
a difference between
σ21
and
σ22?
Determine the hypotheses. Choose the correct answer below.
A.
H0:
σ21=σ22
H1:
σ21≠σ22
B.
H0:
σ21≤σ22
H1:
σ21>σ22
C.
H0:
σ21≥σ22
H1:
σ21<σ22
D.
H0:
σ21≠σ22
H1:
σ21=σ22
Part 2
Use technology to find the test statistic,
FSTAT.
FSTAT=enter your response here
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Part 3
Use technology to determine the p-value.
p-value=enter your response here
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
Part 4
Reach a decision.

H0.
There is

Part 5
b. Suppose that you want to perform a one-tail test. At
the 0.05 level of significance, what is the upper-tail
critical value of F to determine whether there is evidence that
σ21>σ22?
What is your statistical decision?
The upper-tail critical value of F is

There is
