Question

Consider the hypothesis statement to the right.

sequals=1.1,

nequals=27,

alphaequals=0.05

Upper H 0H0:

sigma squared2greater than or equals3.0

Upper H 1H1:

sigma squared2less than<3.0

Calculate the appropriate test statistic.

The test statistic is

nothing.

(Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Determine the appropriate critical value(s).

The critical value(s) is(are)

nothing.

(Round to three decimal places as needed. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)

Do not reject

the null hypothesis. There is

insufficient

sufficient

evidence that the population variance is

less than

Consider the hypothesis statement to the right.

State your conclusion given that

sequals=1.1,

nequals=27,

and

alphaequals=0.05

Upper H 0H0:

sigma squared2greater than or equals3.0

Upper H 1H1:

sigma squared2less than<3.0

Explanation / Answer

The statistical software output for this problem is:

One sample variance summary hypothesis test:
2 : Variance of population
H0 : 2 = 3
HA : 2 < 3

Hypothesis test results:

Hence,

Test statistic = 10.49

Critical value = 15.379
