In a two-tailed hypothesis test for the difference between two population variances,if s₁ = 3 and s₂ = 5,then the test statistic is F = 1.6667.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The test statistic for the difference between two population variances is calculated as F = (s1^2 / s2^2), where s1^2 is the sample variance of the first population and s2^2 is the sample variance of the second population. Therefore, the test statistic should be F = 5/3 = 1.6667, which matches the given value. So, the answer should be A.
