Annual growth rates for individual firms in the toy industry tend to fluctuate dramatically, depending on consumers' tastes and
current fads. Consider the following growth rates (in percent) for two companies in this industry, Hasbro and Mattel.
Year 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009
Hasbro 3.0 2.1 21.8 4.8 1.2
Mattel 1.5 9.1 5.7 -0.1 -8.2
3.0 1.5 2.1 9.1 21.8 5.7 4.8 −0.1 1.2 −8.2
What are the null and alternative hypotheses in order to determine if the variance of growth rates differs for the two firms?
