A manufacturing process drills holes in sheet metal that are supposed to be .5000 cm in diameter. Before and after a new drill press is installed, the hole diameter is carefully measured for 12 randomly chosen parts. At a = .05, can we conclude that the new drill has a diffrent variance?New drill.5005 .5010 .5024 .4988 .4997 .4995.5014 .4995 .4988 .4992 .5042 .4967Old drill.5052 .5053 .4947 .4907 .5031 .4923.5040 .5035 .5061 .4956 .5035 .4962A, What test should I run?B.

a) F test is a statistical test that uses a F Statistic to compare two population variances, with the sample deviations s1 and s2. The F statistic is always positive number since the variance it's always higher than 0. The statistic is given by:

$F=\frac{s^2_2}{s^2_1}$

b) H0: $\sigma^2_1 = \sigma^2_2$

H1: $\sigma^2_1 \neq \sigma^2_2$

c) $\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level provided

Confidence =0.95 or 95%

d) We need to calculate the degrees of freedom first. For the numerator we have n_2 -1 =12-1=11 and for the denominator we have

We can find the critical value on the F table or with the following excel code: "=F.INV(1-0.025,11,11)"

And we got $F_{critc}=3.474$

e) $F=\frac{s^2_2}{s^2_1}=\frac{0.0056^2}{0.0019^2}=8.68$

f) Since our calculated value 8.68 is higher than the critical value of 3.474 we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and at 5 % of significance we can conclude that the two variances are different.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

We can calculate the mean and deviation with the following formulas:

$\bar X =\frac{\sum_{i=1^n X_i}}{n}$

$s= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}$

n_1 = 12 represent the sampe size for the new drill

n_2 =12 represent the sample size for the old drill

$\bar X_1 =0.500$ represent the sample mean for the new drill

$\bar X_2 =0.500$ represent the sample mean for the old drill

s_1 = 0.0019 represent the sample deviation for the new drill

$s^2_1 = 3.76x10^{-6}$ represent the sample variance for the new drill

represent the sample deviation for the old drill

$s^2_2 = 3.18x10^{-5}$ represent the sample variance for the old drill

Part a

F test is a statistical test that uses a F Statistic to compare two population variances, with the sample deviations s1 and s2. The F statistic is always positive number since the variance it's always higher than 0. The statistic is given by:

$F=\frac{s^2_2}{s^2_1}$

Solution to the problem

Part B: System of hypothesis

We want to test if the variation for oil stocks it's higher than the variation for utility stocks, so the system of hypothesis are:

H0: $\sigma^2_1 = \sigma^2_2$

H1: $\sigma^2_1 \neq \sigma^2_2$

Part c: Significance level

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level provided

Confidence =0.95 or 95%

Part D: Critical value

We need to calculate the degrees of freedom first. For the numerator we have n_2 -1 =12-1=11 and for the denominator we have

We can find the critical value on the F table or with the following excel code: "=F.INV(1-0.025,11,11)"

And we got $F_{critc}=3.474$

Part E :Calculate the statistic

Now we can calculate the statistic like this:

$F=\frac{s^2_2}{s^2_1}=\frac{0.0056^2}{0.0019^2}=8.68$

Part F: Decision

Since our calculated value 8.68 is higher than the critical value of 3.474 we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and at 5 % of significance we can conclude that the two variances are different.
