Transcribed Image Text:/Skip/1
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.
