1) The following hypotheses are given:
Ho=2 group 1= 2 group 2
Ha=2 group 1≠2 group 2
A random sample of eight observations from the first population resulted in a standard deviation of 12. A random sample of seven observations in the second population resulted in a standard deviation of 7. At the .02 significance level, is there a difference in the variation of the two populations?

Q.(1):
The following hypotheses are given:
Null Hypothesis H0 :
Alternative Hypothesis H1 :
A random sample of eight observations from the first population resulted in a standard deviation of 12. A random sample of seven observations in the second population resulted in a standard deviation of 7. At the .02 significance level, is there a difference in the variation of the two populations?
Solution:
We have n1 = 8 , S1 = 12 and n2 = 7 , S2 = 7 ,, = 0.02
Degrees of freedom for numerator = df1 = 8 - 1 = 7
Degrees of freedom for denominator = df2 = 7 - 1 = 6
The Upper Critical value (FU) = F(df = 7, 6, = 0.02 ) = 6.2508 ( from table)
The Lower Critical value (FL)
Decision Rule :
Reject the Null Hypothesis (H0), if the calculated value of F-statistic lies outside the range of ( 0.1794 , 6.2508 ). Otherwise, accept the Null Hypothesis.
Computing Test Statistic:
Test Statistic
Decision:
Since the computed value of the F-statistic of 2.9388 lies within the range of ( 0.1794 , 6.2508 ), we can not reject the Null hypothesis at = 0.02 significance level.
Therefore, we conclude at = 0.02 level of significance that, the variances are equal.
Q.(2):
A random sample of eight observations from the first population resulted in a standard deviation of 12. A random sample of seven observations in the second population resulted in a standard deviation of 7. At the .01 significance level, is there a difference in the variation of the two populations?
Solution :
Null Hypothesis H0 :
Alternative Hypothesis H1 :
We have n1 = 8 , S1 = 12 and n2 = 7 , S2 = 7 ,, = 0.02
Degrees of freedom for numerator = df1 = 8 - 1 = 7
Degrees of freedom for denominator = df2 = 7 - 1 = 6
The Upper Critical value (FU) = F(df = 7, 6, = 0.01 ) = 8.26 ( from table)
The Lower Critical value (FL)
Decision Rule:
Reject the Null Hypothesis (H0), if the calculated value of F-statistic lies outside the range of ( 0.1391 , 8.26 ). Otherwise, accept the Null Hypothesis.
Decision :
Since the computed value of the F-statistic of 2.9388 lies within the range of ( 0.1391 , 8.26 ), we can not reject the Null hypothesis at = 0.01 significance level.
Therefore, we conclude at = 0.01 level of significance that, the variances are equal.
