We are interested in determining whether or not the variances of the sales at two small grocery stores are equal. A sample of 21 days of sales at Store A and a sample of 16 days of sales at Store B indicated the following Store A Store B nA=21 nB=16 SA=28.284 SB=20 The test statistic is _______________.

Answer:

[tex]F=\frac{s^2_A}{s^2_B}=\frac{28.284^2}{20^2}=1.99996[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

[tex]n_A = 21[/tex] represent the sampe size for A

[tex]n_B =16[/tex] represent the sample size for B

[tex]s_A = 28.284[/tex] represent the sample deviation for A

[tex]s_B = 20[/tex] represent the sample deviation for B

[tex]\alpha[/tex] represent the significance level provided

F test is a statistical test that uses a F Statistic to compare two population variances, with the sample deviations s1 and s2. The F statistic is always positive number since the variance it's always higher than 0. The statistic is given by:

[tex]F=\frac{s^2_1}{s^2_2}[/tex]

Solution to the problem  

System of hypothesis

We want to test if we have the same variation, so the system of hypothesis are:

H0: [tex] \sigma^2_A = \sigma^2_B[/tex]

H1: [tex] \sigma^2_A \neq \sigma^2_B[/tex]

Calculate the statistic

Now we can calculate the statistic like this:

[tex]F=\frac{s^2_A}{s^2_B}=\frac{28.284^2}{20^2}=1.99996[/tex]

In order to determine whether the variance of the sale of 2 small grocery stores is equal.  As per the question answer will be F = 1.99.

The sample of 21 days is used for sales at a store where the A is a sample and the 16 days of the sale in store B.

  • They have values of n A 21, NB 16, SA 28.284 SB of 20.
  • The test statics is the F test.  F test s a distribution under the null hypothesis It's used to compare the statistical models and identify the by fit of the population.
