Part 1 of 4 A beverage company has two bottling plants in different parts of the world. To insure uniformity in their product, the variances of the weights of the bottles at the two plants should be equal. But Stephanie, the company's vice president of quality assurance, suspects that the variance at bottling plant A is more than the variance at bottling plant B. To test her suspicions, Stephanie samples 37 bottles from bottling plant A and 33 bottles from bottling plant B, with the following results (in ounces): Bottling Plant A: 12.4, 12.4, 13.4, 14.3, 12.7, 12.7, 13.7, 12.4, 12.8, 12.4, 12.9, 12.7, 12.8, 13.3, 13.8, 12.7, 12.4, 11.9, 12.9, 13, 13.1, 12.4, 12.7, 12.6, 12.5, 13.3, 12.2, 13.3, 12.8, 12.7, 13.2, 13.1, 11.7, 13, 12.3, 13.1, 12.4

Part 1 of 4
A beverage company has two bottling plants in different parts of the world. To insure uniformity in
their product, the variances of the weights of the bottles at the two plants should be equal. But
Stephanie, the company's vice president of quality assurance, suspects that the variance at bottling
plant A is more than the variance at bottling plant B. To test her suspicions, Stephanie samples 37
bottles from bottling plant A and 33 bottles from bottling plant B, with the following results (in
ounces):
Bottling Plant A:
12.4, 12.4, 13.4, 14.3, 12.7, 12.7, 13.7, 12.4, 12.8, 12.4, 12.9, 12.7, 12.8, 13.3, 13.8, 12.7, 12.4, 11.9,
12.9, 13, 13.1, 12.4, 12.7, 12.6, 12.5, 13.3, 12.2, 13.3, 12.8, 12.7, 13.2, 13.1, 11.7, 13, 12.3, 13.1, 12.4
Bottling Plant B:
12.9, 12, 13.4, 12.4, 12.4, 12.9, 12.7, 12.1, 11.4, 13.1, 14.1, 12.5, 12.7, 11.5, 12.3, 12.7, 13.7, 12.6, 13.9,
12.7, 12, 12.5, 11.7, 13.6, 11.4, 13.6, 14, 12, 11.5, 12, 11.7, 13, 11.8
Perform a hypothesis test using a 3% level of significance to test Stephanie's suspicions.
Step 1: State the null and alternative hypotheses.

A pharmaceutical company claims their new diabetes medication results in less variance in a
patient's glucose level than if the patient were on no medication at all. An endocrinologist wishes to
test this claim. He divides participants randomly into two groups. Group A consists of 20 diabetics
who received the medication; group B consists of 25 diabetics who received a placebo. After two
weeks, the blood sugar level of each patient in each group was measured with the following results
(in mg/dL):
Group A:
149.5, 178.9, 145.8, 195.4, 97.4, 123.4, 128.8, 121.1, 189.7, 134, 125, 93.7, 222.9, 115.5, 188.9, 87.6,
132.6, 109, 201.3, 93.1
Group B:
152.5, 138.5, 188, 52.9, 186.6, 154.3, 193, 150.1, 187.1, 122.1, 167.1, 112.2, 197.5, 131.8, 115.6, 166.2,
108, 141.3, 110.2, 164.5, 189.4, 142.2, 174, 190, 171.3

claim.
