Here we have :17 =547, :1=83, //I =562 ; =525, s2=78, n2 =852 Hypotheses are: Ho : ,tt2 —it2

•S 0 —p2 > 0 Test is right tailed. Level of significance: a =0.05

Since we can assume that variances are equal so degree of freedom of t test will be: di= + n2 —2
=1412
The pooled standard deviation is: S - (112 —4121 + (1/2 — 0S22 P n n1 2
=80.024
Test Statistics: t — mu: )— ((547-525)-0)/(80.024* sqrta1/562)+(1/852))) 1 1 sni n2 = 5.059
Critical value(CV): =1.646 Rejection Region: If t > 1.646, Reject HO Decision: Since test
statistics lies in rejection region so we reject the null hypothesis.
P-value: P-value=0 Decision: Since p-value is less than level of significance so we reject the null
hypothesis.
Excel function for critical value: =TINV(0.1,1412) Excel function for p-value:
=TDIST(5.059,1412,1)

Here we have n1 =562,31 =83 ti2 =852,32 =78 Hypotheses are:

H0 : cr21 = a22 H : cr2, cr2, .
Level of significance:
Test Statistics:
a =0.05 Test is two tailed.
Degrees of freedom: df1=n1-1=561, df2=n2-1=851
sta F = =(8342)1(78^2) 52-
= 1.13
Critical value is : 0.859 , 1.161 Rejection Region: If F < 0.859 or F > 1.161, Reject H0 Decision:
Since test statistics does not lie in rejection region so do not reject H0.
P-value: P-value=0.1096
Therefore since p-value is not less than level of significance so do not reject the null hypothesis.
Excel function for critical value: =FINV((1-(0.05/2)),561,851) and =FINV((0.05/2),561,851)
Excel function for p-value: =2*MINC(1-FDIST(1.13,561,851)),FDIST(1.13,561,851))
Conclusion: That is on the basis of sample evidence we can assume that population variances
are equal.
