Most individuals are aware of the fact that the average annual repair cost for an automobiledepends on the age of the automobile. a researcher is interested in finding out whether thevariance of the annual repair costs also increases with the age of the automobile. a sampleof 26 automobiles 4 years old showed a sample standard deviation for annual repair costsof $170 and a sample of 25 automobiles 2 years old showed a sample standard deviationfor annual repair costs of $100.a. state the null and alternative versions of the research hypothesis that the variance inannual repair costs is larger for the older automobiles.b. at a .01 level of significance, what is your conclusion? what is the p-value? Discussthe reasonableness of your findings.

depends on the age of the automobile. a researcher is interested in finding out whether the
variance of the annual repair costs also increases with the age of the automobile. a sample
of 26 automobiles 4 years old showed a sample standard deviation for annual repair costs
of $170 and a sample of 25 automobiles 2 years old showed a sample standard deviation
for annual repair costs of $100.
a. state the null and alternative versions of the research hypothesis that the variance in
annual repair costs is larger for the older automobiles.
b. at a .01 level of significance, what is your conclusion? what is the p-value? Discuss
the reasonableness of your findings.
