To test H0 : σ=2.9 versus H1 : σ≠2.9, a random sample of size
n=21 is obtained from a population that is known to be normally
distributed.
(a) If the sample standard deviation is determined to be
s=2.6, compute the test statistic.
χ^2_0=____
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
(b) If the researcher decides to test this hypothesis at the
α=0.05 level of significance, determine the critical values.The
critical values are
χ^2_0.025=____ and χ^2_0.975=____.
(Round to three decimal places...
