Question

In one town, monthly incomes for men with college degrees are found to have a standard deviation of $650. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that for men without college degrees in that town, incomes have a higher standard deviation. A random sample of 22 men without college degrees resulted in incomes with a standard deviation of $913.  Apply classical (traditional approach).  

Round test statistic to nearest hundredth if necessary.

Show step1-step3.  

**Steps for Hypothesis Testing**

**Step 1:** State null and alternative hypothesis.

**Step 2:** Apply p-value and classical (traditional) approach.

- **Classical Approach:** Compare critical value (CV) vs test statistic.
- **p-value Approach:** Compare p-value vs alpha (level of significance).

**Step 3:** State conclusion.

**Claim is Alternative Hypothesis:**

- *Reject Null Hypothesis:* There is sufficient evidence to conclude that _______.
- *Do not reject Null Hypothesis:* There is insufficient evidence to conclude that _______.

**Claim is Null Hypothesis:**

- *Reject Null Hypothesis:* There is sufficient evidence to reject that _______.
- *Do not reject Null Hypothesis:* There is insufficient evidence to reject that _______.
