Multiple Choice

Find the critical value $$\mathrm { F } _ { 0 }$$ to test the claim that $$\sigma _ { 1 } ^ { 2 } \leq \sigma _ { 2 } ^{ 2 }$$ Two samples are randomly selected from populations that are normal. The sample statistics are given below. Use α $$\alpha = 0.05 \text {. }$$ $$\begin{array} { l l } \mathrm { n } _ { 1 } = 16 & \mathrm { n } _ { 2 } = 15 \\\\\mathrm {~s} _ { 1 } ^ { 2 } = 8.41 & \mathrm {~s} _ { 2 } ^ { 2 } = 7.84\end{array}$$
