A particular magazine identified the top accounting firms in 8 geographic regions across a certain country. Even though all 8 regions reported growth in the past year,
region A and region B reported the highest combined growths, with 17% and 25%, respectively. A characteristic description of the accounting firms in these regions
included the number of partners in the firm. The accompanying table contains data on the number of partners. Complete parts (a) through (d) below.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In all of these questions, there are 2 possible ratios A/B and B/AI Our convention is to always assume that the larger variance is in the
numerator (i.e., on top). The correct answer will always be found in this fashion. Similarly, in questions about a critical value, we shall consider the right
(upper) tail.
a. At the 0.01 level of significance, is there evidence of a difference in the variability in numbers of partners for region A accounting firms and…
