We are interested in determining whether or not the variances of the sales at two small grocery stores are equal. A sample of 16 days of sales at each store indicated the following: Store A Store B n1 = 16 n2 = 16 s1 = 125 s2 = 105 Are the variances of the populations (from which these samples came) equal? Use  = .05.
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Question 2

A sample of 61 items provided a sample mean of 932, a sample mode of 900, and a sample standard deviation of 11 . Test the following hypotheses using  = .05 . What is your conclusion? H0: 2  80 Ha: 2 > 80

Answer to Question 1

F = 1.42; do not reject H0, there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the variance of the sales at two small grocery stores are different

Answer to Question 2

2 = 90.75 > 83.2976; reject H0, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the population variance exceeds 80

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
