Summer reading programs are very popular with children. At the Citizens Library, Team Ramona read an average of 23.2  books with a standard deviation of 5.2. There were 21 members on this team. Team Beezus read an average of 26.  books with a standard deviation of 4.0. There were 19 members on this team. Did the variances of the two teams differ? Use α=0.01. Use the traditional method of hypothesis testing and let σ1 be the standard deviation for Team Ramona. Assume that all variables are normally distributed.

 (a)State the hypotheses and identify the claim.

H0:  claim/ do not claim

H1: claim/do not claim

This hypothesis test one tailed/two tailed a (Choose one) test.

(b)Find the critical value. Round the answer to at least two decimal places.

Critical value is

c)Compute the test value. Round the sample standard deviation and

 score value to at least two decimal places as needed.

F=, p-value

(d)Make the decision.

Reject/ do not reject (Choose one) the null hypothesis

(e)Summarize the results.
