In an annual report to investors, an investment firm claims that the share price of one of their bond funds had very little variability. The report shows the average price as $20.00 with a variance of 0.18. One of the investors wants to investigate this claim. He takes a random sample of the share prices for 22 days throughout the last year and finds that the standard deviation of the share price is 0.2207 Can the investor conclude that the variance of the share price of the bond fund is different than claimed at α=0.01 Assume the population is normally distributed.
Step 2: Determine the critical value(s) of the test statistic. If the test is two-tailed, separate the values with a comma. Round your answer to THREE decimal places.
Step 3: Determine the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.
