A professor believes that the variance of ACT composite scores of honor students is less than that of all students who take the ACT. The sample variance of the ACT composite scores for a random sample of 15 honors students is 10.7. The sample variance of the ACT composite scores for a random sample of 18 other students is 24.2 Assume that both population distributions are approximately normal and test the professor’s claim using a 0.10 level of significance. Does the evidence support the professor’s claim? Let honor students be Population 1 and let students in general be Population 2.

Step 1 of 3:
