Solutions

Expert Solution

Using excel,

a. Z test

H0 : Vs Ha :

The output is obtained as:

Since the p value obtained for the test is 0.00 < 0.05.There is no sufficient evidence to support the null hypothesis.Hence, the null hypothesis may be rejected at 5% level of significance.

We may conclude that the population means for X2 and X3 are not equal.

b.F test for equality of variance of X2 and X3

H0:   

Since the p value obtained for the test is 0.00 < 0.05.There is no sufficient evidence to support the null hypothesis.Hence, the null hypothesis may be rejected at 5% level of significance.

We may conclude that the population variances for X2 and X3 are not equal.

c To test whether the variance of X1 is greater than 9.

H0 : vs Ha :

The appropriate test, here, would be chi square.Its test statistic is given by,

Here, s2 = Sample variance = 9.911 ............[=VAR(A2:A716) in excel]

= 9..........(given)

n = no. of observations = 715

Substituting the above values,

=786.3

p value for the test is obtained by the formula, CHIDIST(786.3,714) = 0.031 < 0.05

Since the p value obtained for the test is 0.031 < 0.05.There is no sufficient evidence to support the null hypothesis.Hence, the null hypothesis may be rejected at 5% level of significance.

We may conclude that the population variance of X1 is greater than 9.

d. ANOVA to test equality of means of X1,X2 and X3

H0 : vs H1: At least one of the means differ.

The output is obtained as:

Since the p value obtained for the test is 0.000 < 0.05.There is no sufficient evidence to support the null hypothesis.Hence, the null hypothesis may be rejected at 5% level of significance.

We may conclude that the population means of X1, X2 and X3 are not equal.The means differ significantly at 5% level.
