Q1) Stockbroker at Critical Securities reported that mean rate of return on a sample of 10 oil stocks was 12.6 percent with the standard deviation of 3.9%. Mean rate of return on a sample of 8 utility stocks was 10.9% with standard deviation of 3.5%. At 0.05 significance level, can we conclude that there is more variation in oil stocks?

2) Following hypotheses are given,

            H0: s12 ≤ s22   

            H1: s12 > s22

Random sample of five observations from first population resulted in standard deviation of 12. A random sample of 7 observations from second population illustrated a standard deviation of 7. At 0.01 significance level, is there more variation in first population?
