Transcribed Image Text:Use the file on Blackboard called "Excel Databases.xlsx". Locate the Manufacturer tab. The goal is to test to determine if
there is a significant difference between mean Value Added by the manufacturer and the mean Cost of Materials in
manufacturing assuming a 1% level of significance. Use Excel to perform the F-test for Equality of Variances at the 1%
significance level. Which variable will be Group 1? What can you conclude from running the F-test?
a. Value Added by Manufacturer is Group 1.
The F-test concludes that the population variances are unequal.
b. Value Added by Manufacturer is Group 1.
The F-test concludes that the population variances are equal.
c. Cost of Materials is Group 1.
The F-test concludes that the population variances are equal.
d. Cost of Materials is Group 1.
The F-test concludes that the population variances are unequal.
Expert Solution

Step 1
Null Hypothesis:
H0: The population variances are equal.
Alternative Hypothesis:
H1:The population variances are not equal.
Excel Procedure:
- Enter the data for ‘Cost of materials’ and ‘Value added by Mfg’ in Excel sheet.
- Go to Data
- Click on Data Analysis.
- Select ‘F-test Two-Sample for Variances’ and click on ‘OK’
- Select the column of ‘Cost of materials’ under ‘Variable 1 Range’.
- Select the column of ‘Value added by Mfg’ under ‘Variable 2 Range’.
- Click on ‘OK’.
