Question

A UW Madison professor is interested in learning about the variance of grades for university students. The professor gathers the sample variance for a random sample of 50 students. From past experience, the professor knows that the population of students is normally distributed. The sample variance that is collected is equal to 80. The professor would like to infer at the 1% significance level that the population variance is less than 100?

- State the appropriate null and alternative hypothesis.

- What is the correct test statistic?

- What is the conclusion of the test?

- What would be the effect if the professor increased the sample size?

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
