In order to compare the resistance of two types of materials A and B, we consider the following data from two independent

random samples

MatériauA: 117,0 109,5 108,4 105,1 109,1 106,5 86,4

Matériau B: 108,9 106,3 113,9 123,1 119,3 122,3 126,1

Let X1 be the resistance of material A and X2 that of material B. We assume that X1 ,..__, N(J1,1, uf) et~XN(11,
2 2 , a-�).

1) We want to carry out a test of hypotheses on the equality of variances a-f and a-�.
• What is the value of the statistic for this test?

• At a critical threshold of 5%, what can we conclude?

�,,a. The two variances are equal.

-·b. The two variances are not equal..
·c. None of these answers

2) We want to check by means of a test if on average the material A has a resistance lower than that of the material B.
• What is the value of the statistic for this test?
(

• At a critical threshold of 5%, what can we conclude?

'a. Material A has a lower resistance than material B.
�,,b. Material A does not have a lower resistance than that of material B.
·c. None of these answers
