nber of partners data A particular magazine identified the top accounting firms in 42 geographic regions across a certain country. Even though all 42 regions reported growth in the past year, region A and region B reported the highest combined growths, with 24% and 17%, respectively. A characteristic description of the accounting firms in these regions included the number of partners in the firm. The accompanying table contains data on the number of partners.

a. At the 0.10 level of significance, is there evidence of a difference in the variability in numbers of partners for region A accounting firms and region B accounting firms?
Determine the hypotheses, where $\sigma_1^2$ is the population variance of the numbers of partners for region A accounting firms and $\sigma_2^2$ is the population variance of the numbers of partners for region B
accounting firms. Choose the correct answer below.
? ?. $H_0: \sigma_1^2 \leq \sigma_2^2$
$H_1: \sigma_1^2 > \sigma_2^2$
Compute the FSTAT test statistic.
$F_{STAT}$ =

Determine the hypotheses, where σ1^2 is the population variance of the numbers of partners for region A accounting firms and σ2^2 is the population variance of the numbers of partners for region B
accounting firms. Choose the correct answer below.
? ?. H0: σ1^2 ≤σ2^2
