At the 5% level of significance, test to determine if the variance of the population is less than or equal to 50. State the null and alternative hypotheses. (Enter != for ≠ as needed.)
Added by Sebastian N.
Step 1
- Null Hypothesis (H0): The variance of the population is greater than or equal to 50. (H0: σ² ≥ 50) - Alternative Hypothesis (H1): The variance of the population is less than 50. (H1: σ² < 50) Show more…

In a test for the population variance (σ²), the hypotheses to be tested are: H0: σ² = 25 versus H1: σ² < 25. If the sample size is 20 and the test is being carried out at the 10% level of significance, the null hypothesis will be rejected if: χ-square > 10.117 χ-square > 10.851 χ-square < 12.443 χ-square < 11.651
