Consider the test of H0 : sigma1 1 = sigma^2 2: against H1 : sigma 1 1 < sigma^2 2 respectively. Suppose that the sample sizes are n1 = 5 and n2 = 10, and that s^2 1 - 23.2 and s^2 2 = 28.8 . Use alpha = 0.05. Test the hypothesis and explain how the test could be conducted with the confidence interval on sigma1/sigma2.

Consider the hypothesis test H0: ́̑1² = ́̑2² against H1: ́̑1² < ́̑2². Suppose that the sample sizes are n1 = 6 and n2 = 13, and that s1² = 23.8 and s2² = 27.8. Use α = 0.05. Test the hypothesis and explain how the test could be conducted with a confidence interval on ́̑1²/́̑2².

Consider the hypothesis test: H0: σ1^2 = σ2^2 H1: σ1^2 > σ2^2 Suppose that the sample sizes are n1 = 20 and n2 = 8, and that s1^2 = 12.3 and s2^2 = 8.5. Use α = 0.01. Test the hypothesis and explain how the test could be conducted with a confidence interval on σ1/σ2.

Consider the hypothesis test H0: σ21 = σ22 against H1: σ21 > σ22. Suppose that the sample sizes are n1 = 20 and n2 = 8, and that s21 = 4.5 and s22 = 2.3. Use α = 0.01. Test the hypothesis and explain how the test could be conducted with a confidence interval on σ1 / σ2.
