    The document describes testing whether the variance in drying times of paint cans has increased from 65 minutes. It provides data on the drying times of 20 cans of paint. A hypothesis test is conducted to test if the variance has increased at the 5% significance level. The test statistic is calculated as 27.258 which does not lie in the rejection region, so there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the variance has increased from 65 minutes.

    5 Hypothesis Tests for population variance


    Example 8:

    The drying times in minutes for 20 randomly selected cans of paint were
    obtained. The results are shown below.
    123 106 139 135 127 128 119 130 109 120
    131 133 121 136 122 115 116 133 130 109

    Until recently it was believed that the variance in the drying time is 65.
    Suppose it is suspected that this variance has increased. Test this
    assertion at the 5% level of significance
    𝟐
    Step 1:
    𝟐
    𝑯 𝟎 : 𝝈 =𝟔𝟓 𝝈 𝟎 ,
    𝑯 𝟏 : 𝝈 >𝟔𝟓 (∗) (right-tailed test)
    𝟐

    Using STAT mode


    Step 2:
    On your calc
    Step 3: TS

    𝝌 𝟎= 𝟐 ¿ ¿ 𝟐𝟕. 𝟐𝟓𝟖
    𝝈𝟎 𝟔𝟓

    Step 4: RR =

    𝟐 TS does not lie in the RR.


    ¿ 𝝌 𝟏𝟗 ;𝟎 .𝟗𝟓¿ 𝟑𝟎 . 𝟏𝟒

    Step 5: Conclusion 𝟐𝟕. 𝟐𝟓𝟖


    Since , do NOT reject at a 5% level of significance.

    There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the variance in the


    drying time of the paints has increased from 65 (i.e. cannot conclude )
