Noise Levels in Hospitals In a hospital study, it was found that the standard deviation of the sound levels from 25 areas designated as "casualty doors" was 6.0 dBA and the standard deviation of 21 areas designated as operating theaters was 3.7= dBA. At a0.05, can you substantiate the claim that there is a difference in the standard deviations? Use σ1 for the standard deviation of the sound levels from areas designated as "casualty doors." (a)State the hypotheses and identify the claim. H0: H1: This hypothesis test is a one tailed/two-tailed test. (b)Find the critical value. Round the answer to two decimal places. Critical value= (c)Compute the test value. Round the F score value to two decimal places as needed. F= (d)Make the decision. Reject/do not rejecct the null hypothesis. (e)Summarize the results. There is/is not enough evidence to support the claim that there is/is not a difference in the standard deviations of the sound levels.
