Assignment 9 F - test (B. V. Sc. & A. H.

2017 batch)

1. Two independent samples of 7 and 6 items respectively had the following values of
variables.

Weights in Kg
Sa 9 1 1 1 1 9 1
mpl 1 3 1 5 2
eA
Sa 10 1 1 1 9 8
mpl 2 0 4
eB
Are these two estimates of population variance differing significantly? (for ν₁= 6 and ν₂
= 5, for F(α = 0.05) = 4.95 (Ans: no significantly difference)
2. Two random samples drawn from normal population are:

Sample I 20 16 26 27 23 22 18 24 25 19

Sample II 17 23 32 25 22 24 28 18 31 33 20 27

Obtain estimates of the populations’ variances and test whether the two populations have same
variance. (Use: Fα = 0.05 for (11, 9) d. f. = 3.12. (ans: no significantly difference)

3. Time taken by workers in performing a job by method I and method II is given below:

Meth 20 16 2 2 2 2
od I 6 7 3 2
Meth 27 33 4 3 3 3 3
od II 5 5 2 4 8
Do the data show that the variances of time distribution from population from which these
samples are drawn do not differ significantly?(Use Fα = 0.05 for )

4. The height in meters of red green plants with two types of irrigation in two fields are as
follows:

Tap water 3. 4. 2 5. 1. 2 3 4.
(X) 5 2 . 2 7 . . 2
8 6 5
Saline 1. 2. 2 4. 4 4 2
water (Y) 9 6 . 3 . .
3 2 9
Test whether the variances of the two system of irrigation are homogeneous.

(ans: Fcal = 1.2424 < Ftab at(7, 6) d. f. = 4.21 then accept H₀)
