For the samples summarized below, test the hypothesis that two variances are equal, at ? = 0.05
Sample 1 Sample 2
Sample variance 25 10
Sample size 8 18
a. Accept the hypothesis because the test value 6.25 is greater than the critical v value 3.16.
b. Reject the hypothesis because the test value 2.50 is less than the critical value 3.01.
c. Reject the hypothesis because the test value 6.25 is greater than the critical value 3.01.
d. Accept the hypothesis because the test value 2.50 is less than the critical value 3.16.
