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),…
A major company in the Montreal area, offering a range of engineering services from project preparation to construction execution, and industrial project management, wants to ensure that the individuals who are responsible for project cost estimation and bid preparation demonstrate a certain uniformity in their estimates. The head of civil engineering and municipal services decided to structure an experimental plan to detect if there could be significant differences in project evaluation. Seven projects were selected, each of which had to be evaluated by each of the two estimators, with the order of the projects submitted being random. The obtained estimates are presented in the table below.   a) Complete the table above by calculating: i. The differences (A-B) ii. The sum of the differences iii. The mean of the differences iv. The standard deviation of the differences b) What is the value of the t-statistic? c) What is the critical t-value for this test at a significance level of 1%?…
