2. Parametric test - F test for the following data
66,67,75,76,82,84,88,90,92
64,66,74,78,82,85,87,92,93,95,97, Significance Level alpha=0.05 and One-tailed test


Solution:
Step-1: Let us take the hypothesis that the two sample have same variance
Null Hypothesis H_0 : S_1^2 = S_2^2

Alternative Hypothesis H_1 : S_1^2 != S_2^2

Step-2: Calculate S_1^2 and S_2^2

bar x_1=80 and Variance S_(1)^2=91.75 for 66,67,75,76,82,84,88,90,92


xx - bar x = x - 80(x - bar x)^2
66-14196
67-13169
75-525
76-416

88864
9010100
9212144
---------
sum x=720sum (x - bar x)=0sum (x - bar x)^2=734


Mean bar x = (sum x)/n

=(66 + 67 + 75 + 76 + 82 + 84 + 88 + 90 + 92)/9

=720/9

=80



Sample Variance S^2 = (sum (x - bar x)^2)/(n-1)

=734/8

=91.75



bar x_2=83 and Variance S_(2)^2=129.8 for 64,66,74,78,82,85,87,92,93,95,97


xx - bar x = x - 83(x - bar x)^2

---------
sum x=913sum (x - bar x)=0sum (x - bar x)^2=1298


Mean bar x = (sum x)/n

=(64 + 66 + 74 + 78 + 82 + 85 + 87 + 92 + 93 + 95 + 97)/11

=913/11

=83



Sample Variance S^2 = (sum (x - bar x)^2)/(n-1)

=1298/10

=129.8



Step-3:
F=("Larger estimate of variance")/("Smaller estimate of variance")

=129.8/91.75

=1.4147

Step-4:
df_1=8,df_2=10,F_(0.05)=3.0717

As calculated F=1.4147 < 3.0717

So, H_0 is accepted, Hence Two samples have same variance
