Answer:
Reject H0 and conclude that volume filled by old machine varies more than volume filled by new machine
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data:
Old machine: 8.2, 8.0, 7.9, 7.9, 8.5, 7.9, 8.1,8.1, 8.2, 7.9
New machine: 8.0, 8.1, 8.0, 8.1, 7.9, 8.0, 7.9, 8.0, 8.1
To test if volume filled by old machine varies more than volume filled by new machine :
Hypothesis :
H0 : s1² = s2²
H1 : s1² > s2²
Using calculator :
Sample size, n and variance of each machine is :
Old machine :
s1² = 0.37889
n = 10
New machine :
s2² = 0.006111
n = 9
Using the Ftest :
Ftest statistic = larger sample variance / smaller sample variance
Ftest statistic = 0.37889 / 0.006111
Ftest statistic = 62.001
Decision region :
Reject H0 ; If Test statistic > Critical value
The FCritical value at 0.05
DFnumerator = 10 - 1 = 9
DFdenominator = 9 - 1 = 8
Fcritical(0.05, 9, 8) = 3.388
Since 62 > 3.388 ; Reject H0 and conclude that volume filled by old machine varies more than volume filled by new machine
