Perform the Indicated Hypothesis Test $$\alpha = 0.01 .$$

Essay

Perform the indicated hypothesis test. Be sure to do the following: identify the claim and state the null and alternative
hypotheses. Determine the critical value and rejection region. Calculate the test statistic. Decide to reject or to fail to
reject the null hypothesis and interpret the decision in the context of the original claim. Assume that the samples are
independent and that each population has a normal distribution.
-A random sample of 21 women had blood pressure levels with a variance of 553.6. A random sample of 18 men
had blood pressure levels with a variance of 368.64. Test the claim that the blood pressure levels for women
have a larger variance than those for men. Use $$\alpha = 0.01 .$$
