Independent random samples were selected from each of two normally distributed populations, n1 = 16 from population

Question:

Independent random samples were selected from each of two normally distributed populations, n1 = 16 from population 1 and n2 = 25 from population 2. The means and variances for the two samples are shown in the following table. LO3 Sample 1 Sample 2 n1 = 16 n2 = 25 x1 = 22.5 x2 = 28.2 s1 2

= 2.87 s2 2

= 9.85

a. Test the null hypothesis H0: s1 2

= s2 2 against the alternative hypothesis Ha: s1 2  s2 2 . Use a = .05.

b. Find and interpret the p-value of the test.
