Drug content assessment. Refer to Exercise 8.16 (p. 443) and the Analytical Chemistry (Dec. 15, 2009) study in which scientists used high-performance liquid chromatog- raphy to determine the amount of drug in a tablet. Recall that 25 tablets were produced at each of two different, independent sites. The researchers want to determine if the two sites produced drug concentrations with different vari- ances. A Minitab printout of the analysis follows. Locate the test statistic and p-value on the printout. Use these values and a = .05 to conduct the appropriate test for the researchers.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The aim is to test whether the two sites produced drug concentrations with different variance.

The test hypotheses are given below:

H0:σ1=σ2H1:σ1σ2

With the help of MINITAB output, the F-statistic is 0.84 and the p-value is 0.681.

Here, the level of significance is 0.05.
