Multiple Choice

Calculate the test statistic F 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. $$\begin{array} { l l } \mathrm { n } _ { 1 } = 16 & \mathrm { n } _ { 2 } = 15 \\\\\mathrm {~s} _ { 1 } ^ { 2 } = 12.615 & \mathrm {~s} _ { 2 } ^ { 2 } = 11.76\end{array}$$
