Question
### Testing the Variances

Assume both populations are normally distributed.

#### Hypotheses

- Null Hypothesis \( H_0: \sigma_1^2 \leq \sigma_2^2 \)
- Alternative Hypothesis \( H_A: \sigma_1^2 > \sigma_2^2 \) (Claim)

#### Given Data

- Sample variance of Population 1: \( s_1^2 = 5.6 \)
- Sample variance of Population 2: \( s_2^2 = 1.4 \)
- Sample size of Population 1: \( n_1 = 9 \)
- Sample size of Population 2: \( n_2 = 23 \)
- Significance level: \( \alpha = 0.10 \)

#### Two Sample F-Test for Variance

| F-Test Statistic                        | Degrees of Freedom (Numerator)         | Degrees of Freedom (Denominator)       |
|-----------------------------------------|----------------------------------------|----------------------------------------|
| \( F = \frac{s_1^2}{s_2^2} \)           | \( d_{f_N} = n_1 - 1 \)                | \( d_{f_D} = n_2 - 1 \)                |
| Where \( s_1^2 > s_2^2 \)               |                                        |                                        |

#### Instructions

Round all values to 3 decimal places.

1. **Critical Value \( F_{ \alpha } \):** [___]
2. **Test Statistic \( F \):** [___]
3. **Conclusion:** [___]
