David Desreumaux, VP of Human Resources of American First Banks (AFB), is reviewing the employee training programs of AFB banks. Based on a recent census of personnel, David knows that the variance of teller training time in the Southeast region is 8, and he wonders if the variance in the Southwest region is the same number. His staff randomly selected personnel files for 15 tellers in the Southwest Region, and determined that their mean training time was 25 hours and that the standard deviation was 4 hours. Assume that teller training time is normally distributed. Using = 0.10, the appropriate decision is ________.

Q:
Collinsville Construction Company purchases steel rods for its projects. Based on previous tests, Claude Carter, Quality Assurance Manager, has recommended purchasing rods from Redding Rods, Inc. (population 1), rather than Stockton Steel (population 2), since Redding's rods had less variability in length. Recently, Stockton revised it rod shearing operation, and Claude has sampled the outputs from Redding's and Stockton's rod manufacturing processes. The results for Redding were s12= 0.15 with n1= 8, and, for Stockton, the results were s22= 0.05 with n2= 10. Assume that rod lengths are normally distributed in the population. If a= 0.05, the appropriate decision is _________.
a) reject the null hypothesis 12 = 22
b) reject the null hypothesis 12 < 22
c) do not reject the null hypothesis 12 = 22
d) do not reject the null hypothesis 12 < 22
