Question
In a hospital study, it was found that the standard deviation of the sound levels from 26 areas designated as "casualty
doors" (sample 1) was 7.1 dBA and the standard deviation of 25 areas designated as "operating theaters" (sample 2)
was 4.3 dBA. At a=0.10, can you substantiate the claim that there is a difference in the standard deviations?
a) State the hypotheses and identify the claim with the correct hypothesis.
01.
Ho:01 s 02 Not claim
H1:01 >02 claim
02.
Ho:01 =02 Not claim
H1:01 #02 claim
03.
Ho:01 2 02 Not claim
