The following hypotheses are given:
H0 : σ1² − σ2² ≤ 0
H1 : σ1² − σ2² > 0
A random sample of thirty eight observations from the first population resulted in a standard deviation of 31. A random sample of thirty observations from the second population showed a standard deviation of 29. At the 0.05 significance level, is there more variation in the first population?
a. State the decision rule. (Round the final answer to 2 decimal places.)
Reject H0 if F > .
b. Compute the value of the test statistic. (Round the final answer to 2 decimal places.)
Value of the test statistic
