A university administrator claims that the variance in student satisfaction scores for online courses is less than the variance for in-person courses. A random sample of 2222 online course students has a satisfaction score variance of 1.51.5. A random sample of 1616 in-person course students has a variance of 3.23.2. At α=0.01 \alpha = 0.01 , is there enough evidence to support the administrator's claim?

Fail to reject H0 $$H_0$$ ; there is not enough evidence to support the claim.

Reject H0 $$H_0$$ ; there is not enough evidence to support the claim.

Problem 35Multiple Choice

A university administrator claims that the variance in student satisfaction scores for online courses is less than the variance for in-person courses. A random sample of $22$ online course students has a satisfaction score variance of $1.5$ . A random sample of $16$ in-person course students has a variance of $3.2$ . At $alpha equals 0.01$ , is there enough evidence to support the administrator's claim?

Fail to reject $H sub 0$ ; there is not enough evidence to support the claim.

Reject $H sub 0$ ; there is not enough evidence to support the claim.

Fail to reject $H sub 0$ ; there is enough evidence to support the claim.

Reject $H sub 0$ ; there is enough evidence to support the claim.
