Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 55P
Use the following information to answer the next four exercises. Two students are interested in whether or not there is
variation in their test scores for math class. There are 15 total math tests they have taken so far. The first student’s grades
have a standard deviation of 38.1. The second student’s grades have a standard deviation of 22.5. The second student thinks
his scores are more consistent.
At the 5% significance level, do we reject the null hypothesis?
