A sample of 21 items from population 1 has a sample variance 8.2 and a sample of 26 items from population 2 has a sample variance 4.0. Test the following hypotheses at the .05 level of significance.
H0: Population 1 Variance = Population 2 Variance
Ha: Population 1 Variance <> Population 2 Variance
- What is the p-value?
- What is the critical values?
- What is your conclusion?
