The following hypotheses are given.
H0 : σ1² = σ2²
H1 : σ1² ≠σ2²
A random sample of eight observations from the first population resulted in a standard deviation of 10. A random sample of six observations from the second population resulted in a standard deviation of 7.
1. State the decision rule for 0.02 significance level. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
2. Compute the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
3. At the 0.02 significance level, is there a difference in the variation of the two populations?
