Stocks The table presents the 2016 percentage change in the stock price for six well-known companies. (Data from: finance.yahoo.com .) Company Percentage Change American Express +10.6% Coca-Cola − 1.0 % ExxonMobil +14.9% Hewlett Packard +63.1% Ford − 5.7 % Red Robin Gourmet Burgers − 8.0 % Suppose that we wish to determine the difference in percentage change between two of the companies in the table, and suppose that we are interested only in the magnitude, or absolute value, of this difference. Then we subtract the two entries and find the absolute value. For example, the difference in percentage change of stock price for American Express and Ford is | 10.6 % − ( − 5.7 % ) | = 16.3 % Find the absolute value of the difference between the two indicated changes in stock price. Coca-Cola and Hewlett Packard

According to an economist from a financial company, the average expenditures on "furniture and household appliances" have been lower for households in the Montreal area than those in the Quebec region.
A random sample of 14 households from the Montreal region and 16 households from the Quebec region was taken, providing the following data regarding expenditures in this economic sector.
It is assumed that the data from each population are distributed normally.
We are interested in knowing if the variances of the populations are equal. a) Perform the appropriate hypothesis test on two variances at a significance level of 1%. Include the following information:
i. Hypothesis / Identification of populations ii. Critical F-value(s) iii. Decision rule iv. F-ratio value v. Decision and conclusion
b) Based on the results obtained in a), is the hypothesis of equal variances for this socio-economic characteristic measured in these two populations upheld?
c) Based on the results obtained in a),…
