1.A transect is an archaeological study area that is mile wide and 1 mile long. A site in a transect is the location of a significant archaeological find. Let x represent the number of sites per transect. In a section of Chaco Canyon, a large number of transects showed that x has a population variance ^2 38.2 . In a different section of Chaco Canyon, a random sample of 24transects gave a sample variances^2=54.5 for the number of sites per transect. Use an alpha = 0.05to test the claim that the variance in the new section is greater than 38.2.

Find (or estimate) the P-value of the sample test statistic.

a. 0.25

b. 0.01

c. P-Value>0.5

d. 0.005

e. 0.05
