Question
**Test the Variances**

Assume both populations are normally distributed and the population variances are equal.

Null Hypothesis:
\[ H_0: \sigma^2_1 \leq \sigma^2_2 \]

Alternative Hypothesis (Claim):
\[ H_A: \sigma^2_1 > \sigma^2_2 \]

Sample variances and sizes:
\[ s^2_1 = 7.9, \, s^2_2 = 4.1 \]
\[ n_1 = 5, \, n_2 = 14 \]

Significance level:
\[ \alpha = 0.01 \]

**Instructions:**

Round all values to 3 decimal places.

a. Calculate the Critical Value \( F_0 = \_\_\_\_\_\_ \)

b. Calculate the Test Statistic \( F = \_\_\_\_\_\_ \)

c. Conclusion:
- Do not reject the null hypothesis and cannot support the claim
- Reject the null hypothesis and support the claim

**Note:** Make sure to use the appropriate statistical tables or tools to find the critical value and test statistic.
