Write the four parts for a two-sided hypothesis test

Question

Consider independent random samples of sizes n₁ = 10 and n₂ = 16 from normal populations.

a. Write the four parts for a two-sided hypothesis test concerning the population variances with a = 0.01.

b. Suppose s₁² = 426.42 and s₂² = 88.36. Find the value of the test statistic, and draw a conclusion about the population variances.

c. Find bounds on the p value associated with this hypothesis test.
