1. The contents of a sample of 26 cans of apple juice showed a standard deviation of 0.06 ounces. We are interested in testing to determine whether the variance of the population is significantly more than 0.003
The test statistic is:
A. 1.2
B. 31.2
C. 30
D. 500
2. To avoid the problem of having access to tables of the F distribution with values for the lower tail when a one-tail test is required, let:
A. the smaller sample variance be the numerator of the test statistic
B. the larger sample variance be the numerator of the test statistic
C. the sample variance from the population with the smaller hypothesized variance be the numerator of the test statistic
D. the sample variance from the population with the larger hypothesized variance be the numerator of the test statistic
