a. Select the null and the alternative hypotheses in order to test whether the variance differs from 62 mpg2.
H0: σ2 = 62(mpg)2; HA: σ2 ≠ 62(mpg)2
H0: σ2 ≤ 62(mpg)2; HA: σ2 > 62(mpg)2
H0: σ2 ≥ 62(mpg)2; HA: σ2 < 62(mpg)2
b. Assuming that mpg is normally distributed, calculate the value of the test statistic. (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 3 decimal places.)
c. Find the p-value.
p-value < 0.01
0.01 ≤ p-value < 0.02
0.02 ≤ p-value < 0.05
0.05 ≤ p-value < 0.10
p-value ≥ 0.10
d. Make a conclusion at α = 0.01.
Reject H0; we can say that the variance differs from 62.
Reject H0; we cannot say that the variance differs from 62.
Do not reject H0; we can say that the variance differs from 62.
Do not reject H0; we cannot say that the variance differs from 62.

Two basketball players on a school team are working hard on consistency of their performance. In particular, they are hoping to bring down the variance of their scores. The coach believes that the players are not equally consistent in their games. Over a 10-game period, the scores of these two players are shown below. Assume that the two samples are drawn independently from normally distributed populations. (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: chi-square table or F...
