Answer:
(a) 0.653
(b) 0.0198
(c) Yes, after testing we conclude that the population variance of annual wheat production for the first plot is larger than that for the second plot.
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) We are give the sample of one year annual production of wheat (in pounds) ;
4.46, 4.21, 4.40, 4.81, 2.81, 2.90, 4.93, 3.54, 4.16, 4.48, 3.26, 4.74, 4.97, 4.02, 4.91, 2.59
For calculating sample variance, firstly we will calculate mean of the above data;
Mean of above data, = Sum of all values ÷ n (no. of values)
= = 4.074
Sample Variance, =
=
= 0.653
(b) Another sample for annual wheat production (in pounds);
3.89, 3.81, 3.95, 4.07, 4.01, 3.73, 4.02, 3.78, 3.72, 3.96, 3.62, 3.76, 4.02, 3.73, 3.94, 4.03
Mean of above data, = Sum of all values ÷ n (no. of values)
= = 3.88
Sample Variance, =
=
= 0.0198
(c) Now, we have to test the claim that population variance of annual wheat production for the first plot is larger than that for the second plot i.e.;
Null Hypothesis, :
or
:
Alternate Hypothesis, :
or
:
The test statistics used here is;
~
where,
and
Test Statistics = ~
= 32.98
Since, we are not provided with any significance level so we assume it to be 5% and at this level, the F table gives critical value of 2.4282.
<em>Since our test statistics is higher than the critical value and it falls in the rejection region so we have sufficient evidence to reject null hypothesis and conclude that the population variance of annual wheat production for the first plot is larger than that for the second plot.</em>
