The yogurt manufacturer decided to use the sample

data collected for the FDA in order to test the

consistency of its production processes. The
specification is for variance not to exceed 300
calories per cup. Using the same data as in the first
exercise (shown below), separately test at the a =
0.05 significance level whether the variance in
calorie counts for fruit-on-the-bottom and vanilla
yogurts exceed 300.

a.
What is the computed value of the
test statistic for fruit-on-the-
bottom yogurt?
b.
What is the p-value for that test
statistic for fruit-on-the-bottom
yogurt?
c.

What is your conclusion for fruit-

on-the-bottom yogurt, given the p-
value and level of the test, a?
d.

What is the computed value of the

test statistic for vanilla yogurt?
e.
What is the p-value for that test
statistic for vanilla yogurt?
f.
What is your conclusion for vanilla
yogurt, given the p-value and level
of the test, a?

b.
What is the p-value for that test
statistic for fruit-on-the-bottom
yogurt? 0.784357138814
c.

What is your conclusion for fruit- Because the P-value is large compared to the significance level of
on-the-bottom yogurt, given the p- alpha=0.05, there is insufficient evidence to suggest the population
value and level of the test, a? variance is different from 300. Thus, fail to reject Null Hypothesis
d.
What is the computed value of the
test statistic for vanilla yogurt? 64.39833333333
e.
What is the p-value for that test
statistic for vanilla yogurt? 0.012828099553
f.

Because the P-value is small compared

to the significance level of alpha=0.05
(p<alpha), there IS sufficient evidence
What is your conclusion for vanilla to suggest the population variance is
yogurt, given the p-value and level different from 300. Thus, reject Null H0: σ2 = a = 300
of the test, a? Hypothesis about the population HA: σ2 ≠ a ≠ 300
Test Variance, σ2 300
