Consider the following hypotheses:
H0: σ2 = 210
HA: σ2 ≠ 210
Find the p-value based on the following sample information, where the sample is drawn from a normally distributed population.
a. s2 = 303; n = 28
b. s2 = 108; n = 28
c. Which of the above sample information enables us to reject the null hypothesis at α = 0.01?
s2 = 303; n = 28
s2= 108; n = 28
a)
Ho : σ² = 210
Ha : σ² ╪ 210
Level of Significance , α = 0.01
sample Variance, s² = 303
Sample Size , n = 28
Chi-Square Statistic, X² = (n-1)s²/σ² =
38.95714286
degree of freedom, DF=n-1 = 27
Two-Tail Test
Lower Critical Value = 11.80758735
Upper Critical Value = 49.6449153
p-Value = 0.0639
b)
Ho : σ² = 210
Ha : σ² ╪ 210
Level of Significance , α = 0.01
sample Variance, s² = 108
Sample Size , n = 28
Chi-Square Statistic, X² = (n-1)s²/σ² =
13.88571429
degree of freedom, DF=n-1 = 27
Two-Tail Test
Lower Critical Value = 11.80758735
Upper Critical Value = 49.6449153
p-Value = 0.017654548

c)
Do not reject the null hypothesis the population variance does not differ from 210
D)
Do not reject the null hypothesis the population variance does not differ from 210
