Describe in Detail
Explain the procedure for testing the hypothesis of equality of variances of two independent normal populations when population means are unknown. Write down the sampling distribution of the statistic. A sample of size 10 is drawn from each of two uncorrelated normal populations. Sample means and variances are:
1 st population: mean = 7, variance = 26
2 nd population: mean = 4; variance = 10
Test at 5 % level of significance whether the first population has greater standard deviation than that of the second population. [Given F 0.05, 9, 9 = 3·18]
