Question
Company A claims that the variance of the life of its appliances is less than the variance of the life of company​ B's appliances. A random sample of the lives of
27
of company​ A's appliances has a variance of
2.5
A random sample of the lives of
25
of company​ B's appliances has a variance of
2.8
At
alphaαequals=0.10,
can you support company​ A's claim? Complete parts​ (a) through​ (e).
​(a) Identify the claim and state
Upper H 0H0
and
Upper H Subscript aHa.
Let
sigma Subscript 1 Superscript 2σ21
represent the variance for company​ B's appliances and
sigma Subscript 2 Superscript 2σ22
represent the variance for company A.
 
 
A.
Upper H 0H0​:
sigma Subscript 1 Superscript 2σ21less than<sigma Subscript 2 Superscript 2σ22​,
Upper H Subscript aHa​:
sigma Subscript 1 Superscript 2σ21greater than or equals≥sigma Subscript 2 Superscript 2σ22
 
B.
Upper H 0H0​:
sigma Subscript 1 Superscript 2σ21less than or equals≤sigma Subscript 2 Superscript 2σ22​,
Upper H Subscript aHa​:
sigma Subscript 1 Superscript 2σ21greater than>sigma Subscript 2 Superscript 2σ22
 
C.
Upper H 0H0​:
sigma Subscript 1 Superscript 2σ21greater than or equals≥sigma Subscript 2 Superscript 2σ22​,
Upper H Subscript aHa​:
sigma Subscript 1 Superscript 2σ21less than<sigma Subscript 2 Superscript 2σ22
 
D.
Upper H 0H0​:
sigma Subscript 1 Superscript 2σ21equals=sigma Subscript 2 Superscript 2σ22​,
Upper H Subscript aHa​:
sigma Subscript 1 Superscript 2σ21not equals≠sigma Subscript 2 Superscript 2σ22
​(b) Determine the critical value and the rejection region.
What is the critical​ F-value?
 
Upper F 0F0equals=nothing
​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
What is the rejection region for this​ F-test? Let F represent the test statistic and
Upper F 0F0
represent the critical​ F-value.
 
 
A.
Fless than<Upper F 0F0
 
B.
minus−Upper F 0F0less than<Fless than<Upper F 0F0
 
C.
Fgreater than>Upper F 0F0
 
D.
Fless than<minus−Upper F 0F0
or
Fgreater than>Upper F 0F0
​(c) Calculate the test statistic.
 
Fequals=nothing
​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
​(d) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.
 
 
Fail to rejectFail to reject
the null hypothesis.
 
RejectReject
the null hypothesis.
​(e) Interpret the decision in the context of the claim. Can you support company​ A's claim question markclaim?
 
 
Yes comma there is enough evidence to support the claimYes, there is enough evidence to support the claim.
 
No comma there is not enough evidence to support the claimNo, there is not enough evidence to support the claim.
