Question

The critical value of F for an upper tail test at a 0.05 significance level when there is a sample size of 21 for the sample with the smaller variance and there is a sample size of 9 for the sample with the larger sample variance is _____. a. 2.94 b. 2.45 c. 2.10 d. 2.37

Answer 1

Answer:

2.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

α = 0.05

Larger sample variance= numerator, sample size = 9

Smaller sample variance = denominator, sample size = 21

Hence,

DFnumerator = n - 1 = 9 - 1 = 8

DFdenominator = n - 1 = 21 - 1 = 20

Critical value for upper tail test using the F distribution table at α = 0.05 ; DFnumerator on horizontal ; Df denominator as vertical ;

F critical = 2.447

F critical = 2.45
