When conducting a one-tailed hypothesis test of a population variance using a sample size of n = 24 and a 0.10 level of significance, the critical value is:
A) 32.0069
B) 35.1725
C) 33.1962
D) 36.4150

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The critical value for a one-tailed hypothesis test of a population variance with a sample size of n = 24 (which means degrees of freedom = 23) and a 0.10 level of significance can be found using the chi-square distribution table. For a 0.10 level of significance and 23 degrees of freedom, the critical value is closest to 32.0069.
